the day

What to expect on 12th July

Our celebration will be relaxed, joyful, and a little less traditional. There will not be a formal sit-down meal, but there will be plenty of delicious food, drinks, music, and time to celebrate together.

Travel information

As Procida is an island, we recommend checking ferry times in advance and allowing extra time for travel on the day.

The best route will depend on your arrival time and travel plans, so please check ferry schedules in advance.

for those who have asked

A note on gifts

Thank you to those who have already given us a gift or shared your generosity with us. We are incredibly grateful.

As many of our guests are travelling internationally to celebrate with us, your presence is truly enough.

With life spread across the UAE, Italy, the UK, and Kenya, and plenty of travel between them, physical gifts are not always practical. Instead, we are saving towards creating a place of our own in Kenya, connected to our future plans and community work there.

There will be a guest book on the day for you to share your messages with us — so we kindly ask that you do not bring a card.

If you would like to contribute, we have included two options below for convenience.
