Our Story
Laura and Roy’s love story began in the most modern way possible: on Tinder, during the lockdown. While some joke that Roy might have hacked Tinder to ensure he matched with Laura, the truth is that fate played its part. With strict lockdown rules in place, traditional dates were out of the question, so their first meeting was a simple walk through Utrecht. But that walk was anything but ordinary—Laura and Roy clicked instantly, chatting effortlessly and taking detour after detour just to extend their time together. Neither wanted the evening to end, and looking back, they both agree it was the perfect start.
As lockdown restrictions continued, Laura and Roy made the most of their time together. From cozy dinner dates on the floor of Roy’s tiny apartment (where a desk took precedence over a dining table), to their first road trip to Italy to make sure Laura could spend Christmas with her family. When it came time for Roy to cook dinner for Laura, he was understandably nervous—what do you serve to an Italian who grew up with delicious food? Deciding to avoid the pressure of perfect pasta, he opted for tikka masala instead - which after that point became their signature dish.
Both Laura and Roy worked hard during this time, balancing careers with their blossoming relationship. Laura was deep in the world of biomolecular science, working towards her PhD, while Roy applied his passion for technology as an ethical hacker. Their shared drive and support for each other created a strong foundation, and before long, they realized they had built something truly special.
Recently, they celebrated another milestone by buying their first home together in Utrecht—a space they’re excited to call their own. And as the world returned to normal after lockdown, they finally got to experience all the “classic” couple milestones: movie dates, nights out, and big celebrations with family and friends. Yet, it’s those early days of walks, floor dinners, and road trips that remain closest to their hearts.
Now, Laura and Roy are thrilled to start the next chapter of their adventure surrounded by the people they love most. They can’t wait to celebrate their special day with all of you!
