It all began in a world in turmoil, when the global pandemic turned everything upside down. When distance and restrictions became commonplace, fate unexpectedly brought us together, planting the seed of our love.

As we shared conversations and laughter, we discovered many shared interests, from the simple joys of savoring a well-cooked meal to traveling the world in search of history and natural beauty. It soon became clear that we were meant to be, and thus began our journey together.

Our first grand adventure took us to the Wadi Rum desert. By day, we traversed its vast expanses on horseback, and by night, we gazed at the starry sky. Riding together quickly became our favorite pastime. Agnieszka took up horse polo lessons, and we started spending weekends galloping through thick forests. We soon found ourselves in Argentina, where our days were filled with the thrill of polo and horseback riding, only occasionally interrupted by traditional Gaucho meals.

Our travels then brought us to France. We cherished the charm of Paris, the warm glow of its countryside, and the stunning beauty of the French Riviera. France has become a meaningful destination for us, where we celebrate some of our personal milestones.

Our curiosity about the world's diversity led us to distant places like Rio de Janeiro, where we immersed ourselves in the rhythmic energy and vibrant colors of the carnival.

More recently, we ventured to Belize, drawn by its natural beauty and ancient history. There, we learned scuba diving and enjoyed the unique experience of exploring Mayan sites deep in the jungle with almost no one around.

Our love story has been one of both distance and closeness, marked by goodbyes and reunions. And as we prepare to unite in marriage, we have chosen for closeness to triumph. Though the world was in chaos when we first met, together we found a safe haven amid the storm—we found each other.
