Rebecca Staffelli and Alessandro Basile, the young couple set to take the wedding plunge, are finding joy amid the challenges of home renovations and pandemic-induced delays. Staffelli, known for her vibrant personality and social media presence, is eager to share her plans for tying the knot with her longtime partner, Basile, whom she describes as the perfect match.
Basile, 40, is not only Staffelli’s fiancé but also has made a name for himself as a DJ and producer. Their romance blossomed after they met through mutual friends, leading to several exciting milestones along the way. Staffelli shares, "We hit it off immediately—it was love at first sight,” speaking fondly of their initial encounter.
The couple’s wedding plans have been less than straightforward. Initially, they had aimed to say “I do” back in 2020. But as the pandemic took hold, they were forced to postpone their wedding for the safety of their loved ones. Just when it seemed their plans could get back on track, another hurdle arose. Recently, Staffelli revealed, "Per ora no, abbiamo dato priorità alla casa, ma Alessandro è sicuramente la persona giusta,” indicating their choice to focus on settling down first.
After successfully completing the renovation of their new home, Staffelli is ready to move forward with their wedding plans, stating, "We're still behind fixing everything up after the renovations.” This home transformation reflects their commitment to building not only their living space but also their future together.
The couple envisions their wedding to be casual and immersed in nature rather than traditional. "Non sarà un matrimonio tradizionale, ma molto semplice e selvaggio con i tavoli sul prato, si ballerà scalzi," said Staffelli, painting a vibrant picture of their plans. With no set date still firmly established, the couple is nonetheless filled with excitement about the prospect of exchanging vows.
Their romantic saga includes two proposals. Basile first proposed to Staffelli on what she describes as "un momento molto intimo,” highlighting the sweetness of their relationship. He playfully blindfolded her, pretending to read her a letter before dropping to one knee. "Io mi sono messa a piangere e quando mi ha tolto la benda si è inginocchiato e ho detto sì," she recounted, deepening the sense of intimacy between them. Three years later, Staffelli reciprocated the gesture, surprising Basile by asking for his hand once more on the beach.
Despite the delays and detours around their wedding plans, the couple remains undeterred. With practical decisions taking precedence, they aim to nest and settle down before approaching the altar—a strategy both relieved and supported by their families. Rebecca’s mother, Matilde Zarcone, even hinted about the prospect of becoming grandparents, reaffirming the couple's priorities.
While their immediate future includes decorating their home and planning the wedding, children are also part of the discussion but are not immediate. Rebecca recently noted, "Aspetterò qualche anno,” when asked about starting a family. This reflects not only the couple’s desire for stability but also the foresight to enjoy their lives together before welcoming children.
With every intention to celebrate their marriage joyously, their relationship symbolizes growth and shared aspirations, promising beautiful memories ahead. For now, the couple is resolutely committed to planning their future step by step, ensuring their foundation is as solid as their love.
