How it became us
OUR LOVE STORY
True to our generation, we met after matching on Tinder and quickly found that we were both looking for something serious. The first date started with a long hug in front of the tiger at Jernbanetorget and continued on a stroll up Akerselva. Four years later, we now have a big house and the world's best Ask together.
Lena considered swiping past Jon's profile on Tinder after seeing pictures of him topless, but chose to trust his profile text stating that he was a smart guy who was looking for the same thing. She soon found out that this was the man she had been looking for for a long time and that he was the one she wanted to marry. It was as cliche as love at first sight.
Then it was just a matter of introducing the guy to the family, which started with mafiosa, our everyone's dear "Bestemor" Eva (whom we miss). They got along well and Jon was enthusiastic when she showed him three pairs of her old high heels with reference to when she was younger and could still wear them. With the approval from mafiosa in place, meeting the rest of the family was a walk in the park.
Complementary, yet different. Jon was clear when we met about his need for alone time and how introverted he was. After a little while Lena was surprised what it really meant though since he wanted to be involved in everything.
You will hear more at the wedding, but Jon describes meeting Lena as finally landing in his own home. To be able to create your own family with a strong person who challenges and develops you, who also understands you, and admires you as much as he admires you, surpasses absolutely everything.
