Our Love Story​

June 17, 2022

We Met

We first met at Hip Island and were so into each other right away that we just got lost in conversation.

October 30, 2022

We Fell In Love

Our journey together began on a starry night at the Heuchelberg Tower in Leingarten: Ken asked Elif if she could imagine a life with him—and she replied with a happy “yes.”

Questions & Answers

To all our friends and family members who have many questions: Please take a look at our questions and answers first!

Where will the wedding take place?

📍 Our wedding will take place at the stunning La Perla del Doge venue near Bari in Italy.

How warm will it be?

☀️ At this time of year, you can expect temperatures of 30–35 degrees.

Are there any places to stay overnight?

🛏 We recommend booking accommodation through Airbnb or in hotels in Molfetta, as these are only 5-10 minutes by car from the wedding venue. From the center of Bari, the journey time is approximately 30 minutes.

👉 Important:
Once we have received the participant forms from most of you, I will check who is arriving when.
With this information, I will contact hotels in the area to arrange a volume discount for you.
This could reduce your overall accommodation costs – we will of course keep you informed via email/whatsapp!


If the hotel works out, I will also try to organize a shuttle transfer from the hotel to the venue and back – since we will all be staying at the same hotel.

Is there parking available?

🚗Yes, there are parking spaces directly at the location.

When should we be there?

⏰ The reception begins at 12:40 p.m., and the wedding ceremony/celebration officially starts at 1:00 p.m. Please be punctual so you don’t miss anything!

Is there a dress code?

👗 Yes! We welcome elegant, summery attire. Please avoid [e.g., white (except for the bride), dark and overly casual clothing.
