Our Story
“We went for a drive on a backroad and she was driving my car like a maniac with the biggest smile on her face. At that moment, I just knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.”
— Luke
“Luke and I had been talking for a few months, and I remember telling my friends that if I start dating Luke - this is it. He’s the one I want to marry and be with forever.”
— Isabella
Over 20 years ago the Cirelli Family met the Quilici Family at Biggi's Italian Family Club in Lake County, CA. Isabella was just 6 years old, and Luke was 8. While Isabella quickly became close friends with Angelina, Luke’s younger sister, Luke spent his days hanging out with Isabella’s brothers, Giorgio and Lorenzo. In those early years, Luke’s favorite pastime seemed to be annoying Isabella whenever he had the chance. It wasn’t exactly love at first sight—although young Isabella did have a secret crush on him. As time passed, their childhood teasing blossomed into a genuine friendship, and in 2017, they began talking every day. It didn’t take long for them to realize that their bond was something deeper, something more. Fast forward 8 years later and they are looking forward to their big fat Italian wedding, a celebration of the love that has grown over the decades.
And the rest is history
After graduating college in 2019, Luke and Isabella moved in together. They bought their first home in Santa Rosa in 2021. They were overjoyed to add to their little family in 2022 when they brought home their mini pig Barley. Luke proposed to Isabella on November 25th, 2023 at Point Reyes National Seashore.
