 A Love Story to Remember

George and Amal Clooney’s relationship has been one of Hollywood’s most celebrated love stories. The couple first met in July 2013 when a mutual friend introduced Amal, a distinguished human rights lawyer, to George at his Lake Como home. Their connection was immediate, and after months of courting, George proposed to Amal in April 2014 with a 7-carat diamond ring.

“A mutual friend of ours said, ‘I’m stopping by, and can I bring my friend?’” George recalled, as reported by ELLE. “And I was like, ‘Of course!’” According to George', his agent called him to say he was about to meet the love of his life. “I got a call from my agent who said, ‘I met this woman who is coming to your house, who you’re going to marry,’” George said. “It really worked out that way.”

The Road to Marriage

“We went on a safari in Kenya. Amal loves giraffes; they're her favorite animal. She went to this place called Giraffe Manor, where the giraffes stick their heads through the windows and kiss you. I had a picture of her, looking back, smiling at these giraffes and I said, ‘I think I'm going to ask her to marry me,’” he told The Hollywood Reporter.

So he did! “I did all the stuff, got down on my knee, and did all the things you're supposed to do. I had a playlist with my Rosemary [Clooney] songs on it, and I was waiting for this song, ‘Why Shouldn't I?’ … And it played, and she's like, ‘Holy shit!’ And she just kept staring at the ring, going, 'Oh, my God.' It was 20 minutes of me on my knee, waiting for her to say yes because she was so shocked. She only said yes when ‘Goody, Goody’ came on, which isn't very romantic—it's kind of mean—‘So you met someone who set you back on your heels, goody, goody,’” George explained on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Their Big Day

In September 2014, the couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Venice, Italy, surrounded by close friends, family, and celebrities. Their wedding was an international event, with Amal’s bridal style setting new trends in the fashion world. Since then, the Clooneys have become a symbol of love, partnership, and mutual respect, often supporting each other’s professional endeavors and humanitarian efforts.

The couple welcomed their twins, Ella and Alexander, in June 2017, further solidifying their family life. Despite their high-profile status, George and Amal have managed to maintain a relatively private personal life, focusing on their family and philanthropic work. The Clooneys are known for contributing to various causes, including the Clooney Foundation for Justice, which they co-founded to advocate for human rights and justice worldwide.

Their recent appearance at Villa D’Este is a reminder of the couple’s enduring love and their shared appreciation for life’s beautiful moments.
