How THEY MET Jasmiina and now-retired NHL player Tuukka Rask were only seventeen years old when they met for the first time in their native country of Finland. At the time, Tuukka had just moved to Jasmiina’s hometown to pursue his hockey career when a mutual friend introduced them. Six months later, they met for the second time, and their chemistry was undeniable. The young pair began dating and moved in together shortly afterward. The PROPOSAL Twelve years later, in 2016, Tuukka surprised Jasmiina with a Christmas Day proposal. Understandably, after dating for twelve years, Jasmiina was nothing less than shocked to find a diamond engagement ring tucked inside a beautiful Christian Dior handbag, one of her Christmas gifts. “It was a very intimate moment, and it meant the world to me to have my parents and our daughters there to share that special moment with us,” recalls Jasmiina. A Three-Year GOAL All three days of wedding experiences were expertly planned and designed by Leandra Svizzero, founder and creative director of event planning firm, EVENTOILE. Svizzero also helped the couple navigate the effects of Covid-19 as it pertained to their wedding over what ended up being a three-year period. During that time, many significant milestones passed in the couple’s life, including the fact that they welcomed a third daughter to their family and that Tuukka retired from his legendary career as a goalie for the Boston Bruins. “This project was full of important aspects, starting with the fact that we had to postpone two times in three years,” shares Svizzero. “It was a project full of life and emotion, treated in a delicate way to ensure the couple had the best days of their life.”

Rehearsal DINNER The rehearsal dinner was held at the legendary GRAND HOTEL TREMEZZO, known for its Belle Époque history and scenic location on the shores of Lake Como. The property faces directly onto the village of Bellagio, where the two branches of Lake Como meet against the rose-tinted backdrop of the Grigne mountains. The evening’s decor palette of powder pink and light blue was inspired by the venue.
