Valentina

Daughter of Diana & Andres

&

Thomas

Son of Sara & Chuck

are celebrating their wedding at:

Castell de Tamarit

43008 Tamarit, Tarragona, Spain

September 7th, 2026

The Castell is a very special place for us. When we first visited it (on an atypically rainy day for Barcelona standards) we immediately felt a connection to this beautiful location. We were already enchanted by the castle’s surroundings, when the clouds opened up and a ray of sunshine, the first of the entire day, shone down on Valentina just as she approached the spot where the altar was to be placed. That moment sealed the deal for us, but we were even more convinced of our choice after visiting the town of Altafulla, which will be a wonderful frame for our celebration.

We invite you to check out the Travel page for more information on how to reach the Castell, where to stay and for inspiration on what to do before and after the wedding.

Our Story

Then

Vale and Tom met while studying abroad in London in 2019. It may not have been love at first sight, but an instant connection was undeniable as they visited museums and art galleries, and enjoyed the adventure of exploring the city together. After the study-abroad semester, while they both were interning in Boston during the summer before their senior year of college, they started dating and their love story began.

Now

Since then, Valentina and Tom earned a collective 3 degrees (Valentina earned ⅔ of all the degrees to be fair and clear), moved in together, adopted Mama and travelled together to 17 countries in 4 continents. Tom proposed to Valentina at the doorstep of her grandparents home in McKinney Texas in December of 2024. Valentina said yes, and they celebrated with Valentina’s side of the family in Texas just before Christmas and with Tom’s side of the family shortly thereafter in Australia.
