Our Philosophy

“There are many people you will love, and they are not necessarily the same people that you will make a life with. Are you looking for a love story, or are you looking for a life story?” — Esther Perel.

I’m May, the founder of Life Stories. Inspired by Esther Perel’s philosophy on romantic love and connection, at Life Stories, we see weddings not only as a beautiful day, but as an opportunity to tell a story, your story.

Before becoming a wedding planner, I worked as an anthropologist and journalist, where I spent years listening to and telling stories about people, cultures, and the moments that shape their lives.

Today, I bring that same passion for people and storytelling into wedding planning, creating celebrations that feel personal, intentional, and true to each couple’s journey.

Fluent in four languages and inspired by rich cultural traditions, I design weddings across Europe that honor who you are, where you come from, and the life you are building together.
