wedding at masseria cariello nuovo, bari


Fabio and Lais, an Italian-Brazilian couple brought together by chance, curiosity, and a shared love for food, celebrated their intimate wedding in the heart of Puglia, at Masseria Cariello Nuovo. They met in 2017 at university, but it wasn’t until a snowy weekend in Limone Piemonte in February 2020, just before the world changed, that their story truly began. As lockdown kept them both from returning to their home countries, a few days turned into weeks, and that quiet early connection soon became something much deeper.

Their symbolic ceremony took place outdoors, beneath the southern Italian sun, in the Masseria's garden surrounded by olive trees and the soft sounds of summer. The evening moved inside, with dinner inspired by their passion for cuisine, a perfect reflection of their bond, and continued with music, dancing, and heartfelt toasts well into the night.

Fabio and Lais are proof that true connection grows with time, patience, and shared moments. Their wedding in Puglia wasn’t just a celebration of love, it was a celebration of everything they’ve built together, piece by piece.
