Ukraine · Portugal · Belarus · Dubai

Two paths that crossed in Dubai, now leading home to Portugal.

A Ukrainian raised beneath the Portuguese sun, and a Belarusian far from home — we found each other in the glass and gold of Dubai, somewhere between everywhere. Now we’re gathering everyone we love by the Atlantic to celebrate.

Our story

Dubai · where it began

Where it all began.

A city of glass and gold, far from Kyiv, Lisbon and Minsk — one conversation that never quite ended.

Between four homes

Miles apart, never apart.

Flights between Dubai, Minsk, Kyiv and the Douro. We learned each other’s words, traditions and recipes.

Above the Atlantic

A yes, by the sea.

He asked on a cliff above the ocean. She said yes before he finished — the whole horizon felt like home.

And now

Home to Portugal.

Now we’re gathering everyone we love by the Atlantic — and we’d be honoured to have you there.
