It began with an obvious cliché. Two singles meeting in a bar under the canopy of drunken colleagues, big leather couches and bottomless drinks. The conversation was at first laughably forgettable, but a second chance was soon had and one fondue dinner and screening of ABeautiful Mind later, the sparks were free flying.

That was almost five years ago. Since then we have crossed borders, shared a roof, dealt with life-changing tragedy and built a life together. We share our humble home with a not-so-humble cat and keep it warm with our favorite foods and favorite memories.

We thank our families and our friends for helping us along the journey. Now we can't wait to kick up our shoes, pour back some bubbly and have the celebration of a lifetime. It won't be the same without you.
