We met on the dating app Bumble. Honestly, at first we both just wanted to spend an evening together. But after exchanging a few messages, we realized there was a very special connection between us. We talked on the phone for hours, sent voice messages, and kept discovering more and more things we had in common.
Chase spontaneously booked two nights at a hotel and picked me up from work. In the car he held my hand – as if we had already been together forever.
On our first evening we went out for dinner, but the food was almost untouched. We simply sat there, hand in hand, looking deeply into each other’s eyes and completely lost track of time. The waiters seemed amused at first – and later a bit nervous because they were closing the restaurant.
For us, in those hours, only our own little world existed.

As it turned out, that first night we didn’t even need to say a word. The feeling was stronger than anything we had ever experienced before. The outside world disappeared, and it was clear: this was something special.

It’s not about nationality, accents, or differences – it’s about what’s in the heart and mind. We are in a long-distance relationship, and that isn’t always easy. But because of that, we’ve learned to be honest with each other, to be open, and to consciously nurture our love.
In many ways we are similar, but in some ways we are opposites. And that’s exactly what makes it exciting. We have both loved deeply with our whole hearts – and that connects us in a way nothing else can.

Honestly, we both had our dream wedding in mind. But at that time it simply wasn’t financially possible anymore. Instead of waiting forever, we decided to just go for it.
Looking back, it was the best decision we could have made.
The day belonged entirely to us – no plans, no big expectations, just love and a few wonderful people we shared it with.

We had heard that Denmark is often called the “Las Vegas of Europe” because it’s so easy to get married there, especially for international couples. We didn’t want months of paperwork – we simply wanted to begin our life together.
We actually didn’t choose Varde ourselves. Our wedding agency had already made a booking there for another couple, and we were able to take their spot. Today we are endlessly grateful for that, because our life together began in Varde.

First, we needed valid passports. Then proof that we are actually a couple – photos, flight reservations, chat histories, video calls. We even included screenshots of online purchases (that was our little joke, haha). And of course proof that we are both single.

Not at all. It was easier than expected. That’s exactly why Denmark is perfect for international couples.

Yes – simply because we didn’t want to make any mistakes. The agency helped us with the paperwork and also reserved the appointment in Varde. That gave us a lot of peace of mind.

Once the paperwork is done, it can happen quite quickly – sometimes within just a few weeks. The main effort is dealing with the authorities. Everything else – lunch, the photoshoot – was spontaneous and easy.

I wore an outfit from “Herz und Seele by Laura” in Germany. It consisted of two pieces – a top and a skirt. That way I can wear the pieces again later, which suits my practical memory very well.

It felt like a dream. Tanja woke Chase up with our song “Accidentally in Love” from the Shrek movie. Everything felt light, joyful, and full of gratitude.

The photoshoot on the beach. Not just because it was beautiful, but because it was filled with so much love and fun that we enjoyed every single moment.

We immediately felt comfortable because Angelie is so warm and easygoing. She simply let us be ourselves – laughing, joking, hugging. The photos turned out incredibly authentic.

Today it’s the photo on the wooden boardwalk with the prosecco – pure happiness. Tomorrow it might be another one.
