Love Story
On October 3, 2019, Paola and Remco met for the first time. After matching on a dating app, they had their first dinner in the Roma neighborhood, in the heart of Mexico City. Paola arrived 30 minutes late (something Remco always reminds her about), to find Remco sitting nervously with a beer in hand. He was wearing a red and black plaid lumberjack shirt.
Four hours later, they both knew they had to see each other again.
Remco, who already had a trip planned to Oaxaca, Guatemala, and throughout Latin America, left a few days after meeting Paola. The wait to see each other again didn't last long, as he returned to Mexico a week later. Since then, Paola and Remco have spent three years together in Mexico.
They visited wrestling matches, tried dozens of taco spots in Mexico City and mezcal bars in Oaxaca, strolled through vineyards in Querétaro, went horseback riding in Hidalgo, and swam in the Caribbean and Pacific waters of Mexico. Then came the canals of Amsterdam, the viewpoints of Hungary, and finally, the decision to move to Barcelona.
Today, they enjoy sunny Barcelona, swimming in the coves, tapas and wine at beach bars, and sun-kissed mountains. They also relish the dark but cozy winters filled with churros and chocolate.
Engaged on May 11, 2025, Remco and Paola have decided to share their wedding and celebrate this special moment with all the people who hold a special place in their hearts and have been part of this great story.
