Once upon a time in Madrid, Arthur was a boy chasing a career, and Inês was a girl chasing clues about her future. They didn’t quite find what they were looking for—but they found each other.

​

Arthur admired Inês’s love for making plans. Inês admired Arthur’s enthusiasm for tagging along. After a risky treasure hunt (details classified), they decided they were a pair.

​

What began on university benches turned into a long-distance shuffle between Lisbon and Brussels—until, three years, countless smoothies, and several costume parties later, Inês convinced Arthur to move to Portugal.

​

He’d never lived somewhere with year-round sun, spontaneous beach walks, or fresh fish at lunch. But somehow, he adapted and Lisbon became their home.

​

Three more years passed. Then came a return to Madrid, one more treasure hunt, and a carefully chosen ring. This time, Arthur made the plan—and Inês said yes.
