Once upon a time, in 2019, two friends decided to go to a concert in Israel.

Who was performing?

Ozuna.

For those, who know, WE KNOW!

For those who don’t know…look him up, he’s basically Latin American royalty and you’ll hear his music at the wedding.

Anyways, back to the story. Two friends decided to go to a concert in Israel. One of the two friends had another friend visiting, so he came along to the concert.

The other friend without anyone visiting told some of his friends from his home country that he’ll be going to the concert with two other friends, in case they want to come and join them at the show.

His home friends said, “Sure, but it’s a huge place. We’ll see you, if we see you”.

The group of three friends arrived at the venue, walked in, and made their way to the seating area. On their way, they bumped into their friend’s home friends.

The home friends – Helene and her friend Clary, Itamar’s friends from Guatemala.

The group of three friends – Itamar, Rory (he was visiting), and Jordan.

Of course, Clary and Helene wanted nothing to do with the two gringos, but in the end, Helene convinced Clary to chill with us (hey we’re not that bad!).

One concert, one cab ride, and one text conversation later, Helene and Jordan went out on their first date at the beach which lasted 9 hours and involved amazing Ethiopian food and two different renditions of “Love is in the Air” being sung by passing strangers as they walked together in the streets of Tel Aviv.

The rest truly is history. Well, corona, a few wars, trips around the world, and a dog later....
