Join us in Barcelona on September 10th 2027 to celebrate.
Peter & Elena first met in Seattle in the fall of 2021. Elena had recently begun a year as an au pair, embarking on her first experience living abroad, far from Catalunya. Having just returned from two years in Norway, Peter knew all too well the courage it takes to move to a new country and embrace a different culture.
What began as a friendship soon blossomed into something more. When Elena’s year in Seattle came to an end and she moved back to Catalunya, they decided to give a long-distance relationship a try. For the next six months, they made the distance work, until it was no longer necessary. In September 2022, Peter packed his bags and moved to Barcelona.
Four years later, they are still joyfully in love and finally have an answer to the question their friends and family have been asking ever since:
September 10th, 2027. That’s when we’re getting married.
Barcelona
You can expect a short ceremony followed by a cocktail hour, dinner, and dance. When the day gets closer, we will share more details about the schedule.
Afternoon
All events will be held at the same venue, the ceremony included.
After the ceremony, everyone is invited to catch-up and relax over some drinks and snacks.
Evening
Remember that Catalan dinners often start after 8 p.m. When it comes time for the banquet, bring your appetite!
Now that everyone is wined and dined, it is time to cut loose! Remember to pace yourself, Catalan weddings often run well into the early morning.

Dos petons, right cheek first, is a typical greeting in Catalunya. Men will often simply use a handshake or hug. When in doubt, just go with what the other goes for.
This is the long stretch of sitting, talking and drinking at the table after the plates are cleared, before dancing starts. Catalans love a good chit-chat after meals.
In Catalonia, cash is traditionally the gift for newlyweds. No registry, no guessing whether they need another set of wine glasses, and no trying to fit a wedding gift into your suitcase.
If you'd like to give us a gift and prefer not to carry cash, the best way is through our Revolut account.

Semi-Formal
Suits and long dresses, no need for a black tie.
September in Catalunya is warm so look for something breathable you can dance in.

Welcome to beautiful Masia Can Plantada, which was built in 1511!
Camí de Can Plantada, s/n, L'Ametlla del Vallès, Barcelona 08480, Spain.
We would love to know who can make it! Please send an initial RSVP as soon as possible, you can always come back and resubmit with more detail.
The easiest way to get around and travel during the wedding weekend would be by car. There are ways of getting to the hotel via public transportation, but we strongly recommend you to rent a car as it will be far more practical and easier. You can rent the car in advance and pick it up at the Barcelona airport upon landing to travel to the hotel for the wedding weekend.
If you are looking to extend your stay in Spain or arrive earlier, we would be more than happy to help with any travel plans! We are always available to answer questions or help in any way possible.
Reminder! Don't forget to pick up an international driving permit before your visit!
