Our Story
A completely unembellished account of how we arrived at this improbable decision.
The First Encounter
We met under circumstances that in retrospect were either fate or poor planning. Felix was there. Lina was also there. Eye contact was made. Nothing was the same after that, mostly because Felix kept showing up.
The First Date
Felix chose the restaurant. It was fine. Lina chose the wine. It was excellent. This dynamic has persisted ever since and is expected to continue indefinitely, for better or for worse — the latter being legally defined below.
Moving In Together
A bold experiment in cohabitation. Early results: one of us loads the dishwasher correctly. The other one is Felix. Ongoing negotiations have so far been inconclusive but peaceful.
The Proposal
Felix asked the question. Lina said yes, after a pause that Felix maintains was "thoughtful" and Lina maintains was "for dramatic effect." The ring, however, was perfect. No pause required.

The conclusion of a long research phase and the beginning of a legally binding partnership. We look forward to your attendance at the signing ceremony. Light refreshments will be provided. Also champagne. Mostly champagne.
