"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 Weddings, a destination wedding planner based in Europe, specializing in deeply personal celebrations in Spain, Italy, and France.

Inspired by Esther Perel's philosophy on love and connection, I believe a wedding is far more than a beautiful day. It's an opportunity to tell a story, your story, rooted in who you are, where you come from, and the life you are choosing to build together.

Before becoming an international wedding planner, I worked as an anthropologist and journalist, spending years listening to and documenting stories about people, cultures, and the moments that shape their lives. That background is at the heart of everything I do. I don't just plan weddings, I ask the questions that uncover what makes your relationship, your heritage, and your vision truly unique.

Today, I bring that same curiosity and love of storytelling to designing destination weddings across Europe for international and multicultural couples. Fluent in four languages and deeply inspired by the cultural richness of the Mediterranean and beyond, I create memorable celebrations that feel intentional, personal, and authentic.

If you are an international couple planning a destination wedding in Europe, you have found your planner.
