Our Story

The Meeting of Hearts

Date: December 1, 2024
We found each other on the internet, through an app. After only four weeks, we already knew it was destiny, and we immediately planned our first meeting in real life. In life, nothing happens by chance — everything has a purpose, and every path is prepared for us.
“There is no such thing as coincidence; everything is providence and the hidden love of God.”
 — Father Arsenie Boca
“True love is God’s answer to the longing of our hearts.”
 — Saint Paisios of Mount Athos

How We Met first time

We saw each other for the first time on a winter’s day — a day that seems to have changed the course of our lives! After many video calls, we finally spoke face to face, laughed together, and walked under the moonlight. Though many questions crossed our minds, we realized that we wanted to be together — and so, our story continues beautifully!
“True love does not need many words, only a pure heart and a fulfilled destiny.”
 — Saint John Chrysostom

The Marriage Proposal!

Date: April 28, 2025
In the famous city of Vienna, after a lovely walk through Schönbrunn Palace — where we dreamed of the story of Emperor Franz and Princess Sissi — that evening, with a bottle of champagne opened, Udo asked me if I would be his wife for the rest of our lives!

Engagement Day

April 29, 2025
It was the day we shared our joyful news with our loved ones — the day we announced that we had decided to spend our whole lives together. Soon, we will unite our souls before God!
The Beginning:
We are honored to have you as witnesses to the union of our souls and would be truly happy to have you by our side on the most important day of our lives.
