It all started on the Bumble dating app where we both matched during the summer of 2020, with the first wave of the pandemic just ended and the sanitary measures loosening up.

We began dating that summer and got to know each other better. We realized we had a lot more in common than we thought, like driving quirks and a similar childhood.

On the other hand, we are also very different but are able to learn from each other and have become better people because of the differences.

During the pandemic, we were able to spend a lot of quality time together and never got tired of each other or having outside distractions. It became a blessing in disguise to take away the hustle and bustle of everyday life and focus on our relationship during an unprecedented and stressful time.

After the pandemic ended, we went on many trips and outings together and created fond memories with family and friends that we will cherish forever. Our love for each other grew with time knowing that no matter the circumstances, we were better together.

In May of 2023, Valentin decided to surprise me on my balcony (with 2 of my closest friends as witnesses) and bent down on one knee to propose. I said 'Yes' with shaking hands and happy tears running down my face.

We cannot wait to celebrate our love on August 10th with all of you!
