OHMYSICILY
LA DOLCE VITA
A Tailor-Made Sicilian Proposal for Aidan & Meaghan
A Meaningful Destination,
A Life-Changing Question
Why Sicily was the perfect place for Aidan to ask Meaghan to spend forever with him.

When Aidan from the United States reached out to us, he was looking for the perfect team to help him plan an unforgettable marriage proposal for his beloved Meaghan.

The couple was about to travel to Sicily, and Aidan dreamed of proposing in a secluded location with breathtaking views — a place worthy of a moment he had been planning for a long time. He also asked us to create and execute a truly unique romantic setup, as his biggest wish was to surprise Meaghan in a way she would never forget.

Sicily itself was chosen for a deeply personal reason. Meaghan's family has Sicilian roots, making the island a meaningful destination for such an important chapter of their love story.
Choosing the Ideal Backdrop
To begin, we curated a selection of atmospheric locations that perfectly matched Aidan's vision. After reviewing the options, he fell in love with Sant'Elia, a tiny seaside village near Palermo.

This hidden gem offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean coastline and embodies the authentic charm of Sicily.
The Art of La Dolce Vita
Transforming a coastal corner of Sicily into a romantic retreat for two.

Inspired by Aidan's choice, we developed a proposal concept inspired by the timeless spirit of La Dolce Vita.

The proposal area was styled as an elegant Italian seaside retreat, featuring comfortable loungers for two, refreshing Aperol Spritz cocktails, and a vintage beach umbrella creating the perfect setting for enjoying the sweet Italian life under the Mediterranean sun.

The Most Meaningful Detail
One particularly meaningful detail was a custom-made newspaper titled Dolce Vita.

Prior to the proposal, we asked Aidan to share the story of his relationship with Meaghan. We then transformed their love story into a beautifully designed newspaper spread, allowing Meaghan to discover their journey together in a completely unexpected way.


AIDAN: "Her most beautiful personality trait is how bubbly she is with anyone, even strangers. She can talk to anyone like she’s know them for years and make them feel listened to!"
Because the proposal had to remain a complete surprise, we carefully designed a discreet plan. As Aidan and Meaghan strolled along the coast, we approached them pretending to be photographers and offered to take a few pictures of them by our beautiful setup.
Everything unfolded exactly as planned.
At the perfect moment, Aidan asked Meaghan to turn toward the sea so he could take a photograph of her against the stunning Mediterranean backdrop. As she turned back around, she found Aidan down on one knee, holding a ring and asking the most important question of his life.
The proposal was emotional, intimate, and wonderfully unconventional. Deeply moved by the surprise and all the thoughtful details that had been created especially for her, Meaghan said the one word Aidan had been hoping to hear:
“Yes.”
