Like any good love story, you need three elements for a captivating story; Firstly, the leading lady, in this case, Fabiana, born in Brazil in the mountainous city of Belo Horizonte as a second child to her parents Toninho and Neuzete. Living most of her life in the same address until she moved to Europe, she has a vast circle of trusted friends. Fabiana loves dancing, having good time with friends and family, is a hard worker and always fight for her dreams to come true. 
Secondly, you need the leading man for the story Juho, first son of Matti and Marja. The big difference between our characters is that Juho has lived in more places that he has fingers and toes, giving this character a certain enigma about him: “who” is this dashing handsome tall man from Finland who speaks fluently French and English and who is like a fish in a water when it comes to deal with people. Clearly, these two lived very different lives from far, far away from each other.

Thirdly, you need the meet-cute. The meet-cute in a romantic movie is the moment where two people meet for the first time. In our story this is in Lausanne, Switzerland, more precisely in the IMD’s auditorium , 2018, January 8th. Before this date, the two characters lived their life without knowing each other’s existence but that changed in that room and during the year. 

Multitude of different encounters happened between these two during the first few months of the year. The friendship started when one weekend in April, Juho was looking for friends to go hiking. He found out via his roommate that Fabiana (Fabi - as everyone else calls her) was going hiking with other friends, who suggested to reach out to her. Not one to shy away from female beauty, Juho messaged Fabiana and next morning he joined the group for the adventure (the first picture of the couple was taken during this little trip). In May, as part of class excursion trip to Liechtenstein Fabiana and Juho where in the same car with few classmates Adriano (future bridesmaid), Pierre and Ana. On the drive back to Lausanne on Friday evening Fabiana used the excuse that she doesn’t feel good sitting in the back to be able to sit next to the man she started to like. Little did she know that together they would drive thousands of kilometers and thousands more are yet to come. In the same year, June 24th in Singapore, is when and where the love story became real and the first kiss happened! Soon after, Juho asked Fabiana how many kids she wanted (according to him, the idea was to test Fabiana’s sense of humor and if indeed she wanted kids, but actually he was already in love).

Fast forward to today, the adventure of the two main characters goes on in Switzerland, with thousands of kilometers driven together all around the world, sharing common passions and hobbies such as travels, movies, food, cars, and spending time with each other’s families. The question if Fabiana likes kids was answered last year, when the couple got their first son, Matheo Louis, who enjoys the undivided love and attention from Fabiana and Juho. Since being with Juho, Fabiana has moved more times than fingers she can count.

Love story in making continues…… and the couple is looking forward for your presence to celebrate their love ❤️
