Dancing the Night Away: Inside Hana and Adonis' Magical Wedding in Pettolecchia Collection

Love Story

Some love stories are written in the stars; others are written in sugar and flour. Hana and Adonis’ journey began with a cookie. Hana, the owner of a charming bakery, was tidying up for the day when two customers walked in, hoping to satisfy their sweet tooth. Adonis and his friend purchased their treats but lingered for conversation with the "cute" shop owner — Adonis' words, not ours.

Hana, ever resourceful, saw an opportunity and enlisted her new acquaintances to help move some heavy equipment in her shop. Little did Adonis know he'd soon find himself wrestling with a commercial-sized fridge. Despite the unexpected task, he refused to disappoint Hana, and their teamwork left a lasting impression. Days later, Adonis started a chat with Hana on social media, sparking a three-year friendship that eventually blossomed into romance.

"On our first date, June 29, 2021, I never wanted the conversation to end," Adonis would later write on the soles of Hana’s wedding shoes, a heartfelt detail from his November 2022 proposal to their dream wedding in Puglia on September 7, 2023.

Hana and Adonis’ wedding was nothing short of a fairytale infused with Mediterranean magic. Set in the heart of a 1,000-year-old olive forest in Puglia, Italy, their vision came alive with vibrant florals, a mirrored aisle, and an unforgettable three-day celebration. The couple hosted 220 guests, with 11 stunning outfit changes, daytime fireworks, Arabic drummers, and an internationally renowned DJ to set the mood.

As the soft Mediterranean sunlight spilled across the venue, small but deeply meaningful treasures came to life. Hana’s wedding shoes, a stunning pair of white Louboutins, carried a message from Adonis handwritten in gold: "To never letting the convo end." This touching phrase was a nod to their very first date, marking the moment that changed their lives forever.
