We met on February 5, 2012 (also known as the Superbowl Sunday where the New York Giants won against the New England Patriots) at a bar called Down the Hatch in New York’s West Village.

 Since May 2015, so almost 10 years! We met in 2012, reconnected in 2014, and made our relationship official in 2015. We were in a long-distance relationship between Switzerland and the U.S. for 5 years, in a medium-distance relationship within the U.S. for 2 years, and we lived together in Boston for almost three years.

No, from now on we plan to live in the same place! After the wedding, it is Jonathan’s turn to come live in Switzerland for a while.
