Today we tell you the story of Claudio and Vanessa who celebrated their wedding in Puglia in the beautiful Masseria Montalbano in Ostuni.

Claudio and Vanessa met during a summer holiday in Puglia. She was sitting on a white sand beach, she was wearing a light dress and a straw hat, while he watched her from a distance in admiration. Claudio was a shy but determined man and, after a while, he worked up the courage to approach her.

He started talking to Vanessa and, slowly, they realized they had a lot in common. Both loved music, cinema and good food. They exchanged phone numbers and continued to see each other for the rest of the vacation.

After the end of the holiday, Claudio and Vanessa broke up with the promise to continue to feel. And so it was. They started dating, talking on the phone and texting each other every day. Despite the distance, their relationship has grown from strength to strength.

After a few months, Claudio decided to surprise Vanessa and invited her to spend a weekend in Puglia. It was a special weekend, in which he had organized a romantic candlelit dinner in a restaurant overlooking the sea. That evening, Claudio asked Vanessa to become her girlfriend and she happily accepted.

From that moment on, Claudio and Vanessa continued to meet more and more and, after a few years, they decided to get married in Puglia which had seen their love born. Their love story is an example of how, sometimes, love can be born unexpectedly, on a white sand beach during a summer vacation.
