Our story

We met 11 years ago and we’ve been together since March 1st, 2014. We met at work, continued at home. Had fun out and about. We were mates, then flatmates, then lovers and roommates and then we moved out. We did long distance, then back to short distance. We moved in together. We bought a house. We got a dog. We’ve been together through thick and thin and now we we’re throwing a party to celebrate that with you.

The same, but different, but the same

The Spotzer Era

Ben was a copywriter and Alina and aspiring web designer. Ben always wore a red hoodie. Alina was trying to be cool, but he saw right through her. She wasn’t.

He thought she was French.
She wasn’t.

She fell in love with this

He fell in love with this

It was a secret

Until it wasn’t anymore

The Roomies

We became flatmates and our days in Kasteel Honingen were like this…

  • in the garden

  • beers on the table from the night before

  • Zoe telling us stories

  • Ben jumping on the trampoline

The Loooong Distance

Alina goes to Spain to study how to be a developer

Ben comes to visit many many times

Welcome chores!

After Alina got back from Spain and found a job, we moved in together and started our first tradition of sleeping in the livingroom during Christmas.

Alina is sweet and likes to surprise Ben, like that one time she built a whole fort inside the house. She’s the best!

January 2016, Ben’s mom meets Alina’s parents. We all have a good time and freeze in Amsterdam.

Alina goes to America to meet the rest of the fam.
