What are the odds that a stranger living nearby could be the person you’ll be spending your life with?<\/span><\/p>\n

Love month will be over in a few days, but here at Brillianteers, every day is Valentine’s and every ring has a unique love story.<\/span><\/p>\n

Katarina and Ivan’s story will surely keep your faith in love. Let’s get to know them and their journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

We are very much curious about how the two of you meet. Could you tell us more about it?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Me and Ivan met through social media. We were texting each other for a while,but I already knew who he is. We lived 5 minutes from each other and our moms are friends from school. The second day after we went out we were in relationship”<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh wow! Who could have thought that this guy living nearby you hardly know of could be dating you someday? I’m pretty sure you felt that energy and connection only two lovers can understand. The question is when?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“I think it was on our first date. We found out we have the same values. We love our families, we love pets, we appreciate everything that life is giving us and we both love the sport. He is a professional hockey player and I am a huge hockey fan 🙂 I felt that he has really close to me”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure you can’t get enough of each other after that first date, how long have you been together? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“3 years!”<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aww 3 long years! Did you become friends before you became lovers?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“No. We didn\u2019t know each other personally. We became best friends during our relationship🙂”<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of that, when was your first date?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

“4th January 2016. I didn\u2019t want to go<\/span><\/em>,\u00a0but<\/span> my mom persuaded me that he is a really good guy. “<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I bet your mom was right! You know what they say…’MOTHER KNOWS BEST’!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have more likes and similarities? or are you perfectly opposite – like filling the lack of the other?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“Well, I think we are very similar as I mentioned before. Family, perfect love for each other, hockey, gym, food, traveling, we love all of that! But our natures are a bit different🙂he is more gentle than me, I am like the headstrong one, the leader who wants things to be according to herself. But importantly, we both make compromises and that\u2019s what makes it work.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

‘COMPROMISE’ – now that ladies and gents is the secret to a long-lasting relationship!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

‘Are you planning to have kids after marriage or anytime soon?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

No. We are very young and planning kids in about 7-8 years. We have this beautiful kid-French bulldog named Elvis🙂<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“I was soo so happy that he proposed me in my lovely country Sweden🙂”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
