It all started at Maureen Brennan’s 60th birthday in Florence back in 2018. Georgia was there for a good old family knees-up when her cousin Freddie turned up with a few friends—and in walked Luca. Despite not speaking the same language, somehow they managed to hit it off. By the end of the holiday, they were living the Lizzie McGuire dream.

Then started the adventures between London and Florence. Whether it was riding Luca’s Ducati through the Apennine mountains or sampling all the rooftop bars (and roast dinners) London had to offer, they were always finding ways to spend time together.

And then… Covid happened. Half a year apart called for some creative solutions—cue Skype workouts, virtual cooking classes, and long-distance date nights. When they finally reunited, Luca made the big move to London. They lived with their best friend Vicky in Putney for a year (shoutout Tron) before settling into their own little spot in Elephant and Castle.

Fast forward to Georgia’s 31st birthday in Ravello where Luca popped the question in the middle of the Italian hills. Of course, she said yes!
