Our Story

Because good things take time.

01

How It All Started

We meet at a tennis tournament in San Sebastián. What starts as a simple conversation on the last day quickly becomes something special. When the tournament ends, Alex asks for a shuttle to the train station — and by chance, María ends up being the one to drive him. Alex takes the chance and soon travels to Barcelona to visit her, turning a goodbye into a beginning.

02

Love Across Distance

Two years of long-distance: many flights, videocalls, fun trips, and memories made whenever we're together. Distance never pulls us apart; it teaches us patience, trust, and the strength of what we're building side by side.

03

Choosing Each Other

Eventually, we decide to close the distance. María moves to Switzerland, and for the first time we begin sharing everyday life — turning routines into moments, and moments into memories.

04

Full Circle

Alex asks María to marry him back in San Sebastián — the place where it all begins. Returning to where our story starts, we say yes to a future together.
