In a ceremony with 150 guests, the couple gave the “yes, I want”, after five years of relationship. “It was a very special day to celebrate love.

Dressed in a design by Agus Chueizer, Sofia walked to an impromptu altar, set with margaritas and wild flowers, by her son Lorenzo (9). On one side, his brothers Gabriela and Rafael were followed by her brothers, while a jazz trio led by musician Diego Pisano accompanied her with the first evening chords. The cook was also surrounded by his closest circle: his three children, Hans (26), Lars (21) and Francis (17), born of his previous marriage with Mercedes Cristiani, and his brothers, Roberto and Lucas. “It was a very emotional ceremony, we all ended up with tears in my eyes, being happy … I took advantage and thanked my brothers, my friends, my children for being. After the bride and groom exchanged the rings, the ceremony – efficient by their great friend and actor Juan Chapur – began a lively party.
The menu brought the signing of the Petersen. “For this day I asked my chef, Luciana Russo a hand, and of course I had the help of my son Lars, who is also a chef. The idea was that each of the guests could eat what he wanted: cheeses, fish, empanadas, meats, vegetables … and for dessert: Rogel cake, pastafrola and collations. He wanted to offer traditional food from our country, simple and rich … And family that has brothers. “Sofi makes happiness breath. I love that she is a strong, sensitive, companion.

“I was a boyfriend and she about to marry, but she came to work with me. Over time, we were encouraged to something else. For her it was a modern relationship, but for me, everything was challenging. I, who always lived under a more traditional romanticism, of the model ‘For a lifetime’, I found something different and more relaxed. We saw each other every so often and that came well to both of us. Just two years old. We rethink what we wanted. Argentina.
