We met at a music festival in Amsterdam back in 2018. We were introduced by Wilma Georgeson; Tissa's best friend in the party and didn't think much of it... We exchanged numbers and Arnoud reached out after a few days and asked for a date. On our first date we went to the Foam museum in Amsterdam, and then we went to a cafe in Jordaan and we chatted the whole night. It was just so much fun, easy and we laugh a lot. The funny thing is, when we decided to say good bye, I went quickly to catch my taxi and Arnoud felt like we didn't have a chance to say a proper bye so we decided to meet again the next day for a lunch. That’s pretty much when we thought, “Okay. This could be something.” And yes we did have a cute good bye kiss on the next day :)
We went out to take our dog to the usual route to Vondelpark in Amsterdam and we were at the bridge near the Sophialaan street where the view is beautiful. I like to stop there and just take pictures. He suddenly said "Can you take Bear please, I want to text Roderik" as he handed me the leash (Bear is the name of our golden retriever). I took the leash and as I look over he reached something from his backpack and he went on bended knee and said "Tissa Nurviandini, will you marry me?" I instantly said "Yes" It was perfect for us We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Amsterdam!
