Our Love Story
How It All Began
Three years ago, an unexpected match on opposite sides of the world led to an encounter during Paris Fashion Week and ultimately a whirlwind weekend. They knew immediately each other was the one and have been inseparable ever since.
From Paris to Athens and Zurich to New York, their love has withstood the test of time and distance. Sharing sweet moments during road trips in the South of France and dips in the Aegean Sea or funny moments hiking the snowy Alps during their first Christmas together and stumbling across a barn of llamas. Life together has always been spontaneous and filled with adventure.
Their union is proof that love doesn't live in a bubble & that taking a risk can be worth it because love itself is a risk.
And now with their families and loved ones, they will unite their lives and celebrate their love.
