We met at a Notting Hill Halloween party in 2011. Sagar’s pirate costume must have certainly impressed Mari—from there it took a couple of months to get a first date!
Our first date was the snowiest day of the year in London and it was impossible for Mari to find a way home soon. The weather conspired to keep us talking that evening and from the beginning we felt a delightfully strong connection. It took a bit of a nudge from some of our closest friends for the next couple of dates, but after that we never looked back…
Although we have now left London, Notting Hill became the place we love most and where we will always feel like home.
The last two and half years of love, laughter, travel, trials and growth have brought us even closer together. We’ve built on our common values of a strong sense of family and friends. Marianna has become Sagar’s grounding and spiritual compass and he is her trustful guiding light.
We are grateful to have so many family and friends (around the world) who have supported us in our adventures and are very excited to share the beginning of our next journey with you in Italy!
