Our Story

Our story began in 2017 in the corridors of Stockholm School of Business. Amidst a exhilarating 3-party negotiation exercise, Fritz's triumph captivated my admiration.

Over invigorating conversations (and shots of tequila), a friendship bloomed, and soon after, our hearts intertwined on the cobbled streets of Riga, where the seeds of love were sown. It was under the starry skies of Uganda that we declared our love official.

Despite the physical distance that later separated us—Fritz in Canada and myself in Barcelona—our love remained steadfast. Eventually, as we bid farewell to our student days, we made the heartfelt decision to build a life together in the charming city of Stockholm. In the beautiful chaos of navigating adulthood together, our cozy abode became a sanctuary, and we've become each other's pillars of support to flourish into our most authentic selves.

And then, on a serene August day, with Älgö ö's serene beauty as our witness, Fritz posed a question that needed no answer.

Here's to the chapters we've written and the adventures yet to come.

With boudless love,

Catherine
