It Started by Chance, It Became Everything

Our Story
Our story began quietly – so quietly that we didn’t even notice it.
In 2014, at a career fair in Belgium, our paths crossed for the first time.
Just a brief moment, forgotten by both of us… but remembered by destiny.
Five years later, in the middle of New York, destiny tried again.
Across a busy street, a familiar face sparked a surprised smile and a joyful shout.
It was a small encounter – unexpected, memorable, and enough to reconnect our paths.
From there, life unfolded naturally, bringing us closer step by step.
It eventually led us to new countries, a home in Switzerland,
and our daughter Cecilia, who fills our days with joy.
Now our journey brings us to Athens,
where we will celebrate our wedding surrounded by those we love.
We cannot wait to share this day with you
