Our Wedding

We would have loved to tell you that we met at the Musée d'Orsay or in an after-work pottery class. Hélas, no, our story began with a mini yellow icon in the App store called Bumble (a "feminist" verison of a dating app where the girl needs to speak to the guy first before there is a match). After a few brief exchanges on the platform, amongst which I was told by Mathieu that he did "salt-tasting" for a living, to which I thought "a bit eccentric but at least not a finance bro". We then agreed to meet up a few days later at a wine bar called l'ébéniste du vin (gotta love them Frenchies). I recall having a very pleasant conversation, being fascinated by this French man's slight British accent, that his favorite author was Michel Houellebecq, and a tiny dose of disappointment at the realization that my interlocutor was no actually a fancy "salt-taster" but a banker working at HSBC (finance bro afterall, but one who's passionate about brutalist architecture, techno music, paintings, and this I realized later - Pokémon Go). I will later on also discover that underneath his resting "grumpy" face and his healthy dose of complaints about the vanities of life (deeply-rooted in his French identity) lies a profondly human, compassionate, curious and kind soul.
