Marianne went on an exchange to Riga where she joined a group of Romanian and Latvian students for a week focused on cultures and worldviews. Together with Crifto (studying in Latvia), she was in charge of the social media and aftermovies of the events of this exchange. They both had a very good time there although they only realized on the last day that they liked each other more than just friends.
After calling for more than a month, Marianne didn’t see how this could work out since they were living far away from each other. Crifto had more faith and just traveled to the Netherlands to visit her. He just followed his feelings and asked her to be his girlfriend. Marianne for one moment forgot about the distance and just followed her feelings too.
They were very much in love but found the distance and travel time between Latvia and the Netherlands quite large. They were dreaming on the beach and thinking about who should move where and when but sadly this wasn’t as easy as they had hoped for.
Although the distance was complicated, they were sure they wanted to put as much effort as possible to make their relationship work. Crifto asked Marianne to become his future wife.
From the beginning of their relationship until the end of their long-distance relationship, they flew 25 times to see each other. One of those times they met in Italy to visit Crifto’s mom. This was an amazing holiday for them.
Finally, there came an end to their “long-distance relationship” and it became just a “15 minutes cycling relationship”. They are enjoying this new phase in their relationship a lot. Slowly things are settling down enough for them to start planning a wedding.
