Love from Chile, Brazil, and Paris*

  "I am in Love with a Viennese" "Wait... I'm Chilean!"

 

Camila and Dino were set up on a blind date by friends. After the first date, Camila thought Dino was OK but did not realize she had already fallen in love. Dino seemed to be very interested but was leaving for business in Vienna and promised to call and ask Camila out when he got back in a few weeks. When Dino returned, he did call Camila, but not to ask her out. To tell her he was in love with a Viennese woman. Even though they had only had one date, Camila felt her heart break and thought she lost the  man of her dreams. A month later, Dino invited Camila to his birthday party and she decided to go. Dino soon admitted that he had made a mistake and the two started dating. Six months later, they moved in together. After ten months together, there was a proposal. Both think the other proposed, but either way, the two were married seven months later in Chile, this November, just before moving to Switzerland!

"Destined to be Together."- Carol's father

Carolina and Gustavo met when Carol was 16. Their parents were friends with each other. The two become friends and a year later, they went to a party together. Gustavo dropped off Carol at her home and asked if he could call her later that night. It was already very late, but Carol said sure. He called when he got home and told her that he was in love with her and wanted to date her. She said yes and the next day, he came to her home to ask her father permission to date his daughter. What a gentleman! The two dated for 5 years, while Carol finished college. Gustavo proposed one day at her family's home-- presumably he asked her father first--she of course said yes. Her father later told them that he had had a dream and always knew they were destined to be together. The two have been married for 2 years now!

The city of Love

Yann and Max met on Valentine's Day during a singles party. After a night of dancing and mingling, the two finally met. Max offered Yann a ride home and they exchanged a kiss and numbers. Max called Yann to set up a date shortly after. They went to the Petit Palais museum, then to a cafe for tea and dessert and later that evening to dinner. The date ended three days later, but their love was just beginning. This Valentine's Day they will celebrate their fourth year together!
