''Once Upon a Time''

 

Once upon a time on a chilly Saturday night back in 2012 Cupid brought Gabi & Roland together, and they met for the first time at a live music venue in Sofia, Bulgaria. With a wink and a smile, they exchanged their phone numbers, and already on the next day, Roland’s heart gave the order to contact Gabi. They agreed to meet for a dinner. Roland organized the restaurant and Gabi made sure that she looked pretty and elegant. However, like in Cinderella's story, Gabi broke her heel and lost her shoe right before they entered the beautiful restaurant where they were supposed to have dinner.

''Prince Charming'' carried her in his arms to the car in the snow and brought her safely home. After that night, they met each other a couple of more times, however, soon after Gabi decided to move to New York City. Roland accepted these circumstances, and suddenly these two hearts had fallen apart from the separation. After that, however, the curiosity and the tension became restlessness and Prince Charming couldn’t resist. Therefore, two years later, the burning flame made Roland sit on a plane and travel to New York City to visit Gabi.

Back then, both were very hesitant and intriguing, and even though they felt the love in their hearts, they were not ready yet for further steps. Roland wanted to live in Europe and Gabi wanted to live in the US. For this reason, both went different ways and decided to experience life. As life went on, however, and despite being out of contact for years, Cupid decided to interfere once again in their lives. This time, the memories of the few moments these two loved ones spent together made Gabriela search for Roland. Gabriela was confused but curious once again to see what Prince Charming was doing. Said and done, she decided to text him. Roland read the message and after multiple tries to get in contact with her, he finally reached out to Gabi and spoke to her. And it was done. Cupid was able to bring these two people once again back together. The decision to try and start again (but this time) a long-distance relationship was made soon after. Their love grew stronger each passing day and made them realize that they were destined to spend their lives together as their souls did not want to live separately anymore.

 

''Distance will tell you the real meaning of closeness''​

 

During this time, their long-distance relationship endured many obstacles, including a worldwide pandemic that kept them separately on two continents for six months due to the closure of the borders. But nothing was strong enough, and nothing really allowed this love to be interrupted. And the simple reason was that these two hearts could not beat without each other anymore despite the fact of living on different continents. The love itself was never in question, and they never doubted that the two of them belonged together. Roland proposed to Gabi in Zermatt on Dec. 31st, 2020, and she was glowing with happiness and said ‘’yes, I do want to marry you’.

''Love quotes inspired by our love story''

​

Once upon a time, you were my weakness, but now a constant source of motivation.

When you see the good in someone, you don't give up on them , especially if they don't see it themselves. And if you are ever lucky enough to find true love, you fight for it, everyday.

True love doesn't need proof and it is inexhaustible. The more you give, the more you have. Love has no meaning if it isn't shared. We have been created for greater things - to love and to be loved. Small things, done in great love, bring joy and peace. To love, it is necessary to give. To give, it is necessary to be free from selfishness.
