It all started in 7th grade, when we were just two kids who didn't know that destiny had big plans for them. After years of jokes, teasing and shared moments, our story really took shape at college in Liverpool, where we spent two memorable years.

She, rebellious and always ready to break the rules. He, obedient, calculated and attentive to details. Two completely different personalities, but who complemented each other perfectly. There, in the city famous for the Beatles and rain, we realized that we were more than friends – we were soul mates.

After Liverpool, life took us in different directions: Mirela to London, Ovidiu to Bath. As students, our budget was limited, but our love knew no such limits. Ovidiu would make 4-hour bus trips just to see each other – tired, but happy, because every moment together made all the efforts worthwhile.

Our first challenge in being "a family" was Leo, our Bengal cat. He tested our patience, made us laugh, and turned our house into a veritable amusement park. But he also prepared us for what it means to build something together.

And then... Paris. After more than 6 years of love, Ovidiu proposed. And, of course, exactly in the place where Mirela had clearly said: "Don't even think about doing it here!" All that followed was laughter, emotions and... a wholehearted "YES".

Now, we are ready to write a new chapter of our story and share this joy with you, those who have always been by our side.
