We're getting married!

Our first date happened to be the very first online date for both of us. As we sat down for drinks with an air of skepticism about the concept, conversation (and more wine) suddenly flowed, drinks turned into pasta, which turned into more drinks and finally late night - or early morning - pizza, until the sun eventually dawned. Five years later, numerous travel explorations together and a tale of two cities, we are ready to celebrate our love!

The summer of 2016 brought us sailing Sicily's Aeolian islands while doing an Italian language course. One morning, while everyone else on the boat was sleeping, Jens managed - against much resistance - to convince me to go for a morning hike on the island. Sensing that something was up, I finally gave in and we made our way ashore and started up the steps to a nearby look out point. Once we arrived to the top, I was keen on exploring the prehistoric village, but Jens seemingly had other plans. He suddenly dropped to one knee, instantly forgot the speech he had planned but luckily managed to ask the question!
