Karin and I have been best friends since childhood, and I am grateful every day to have her in my life. We are truly like sisters, I can’t count the times we ended up laughing endlessly. We went to school together in Paris, grew up side by side, lived together in London, and this year I was lucky to visit her and Viktor in San Francisco. Spending time with them is such a joy, and I couldn’t be happier to celebrate their love on this incredibly special day. I am so excited to celebrate with all of you! ❤️

Karin & I met when we were about 11 in Paris and she's been one of my closest friends ever since. Karin is one of the people in my life I really cherish every moment with, who i can fully trust, and know will always be there. I met Vic a few years ago in greece and then spent a lot of time with both of them in London. They complement each other so well and couldn't think of a better match for my best friend. Love you both and can't wait to celebrate with you ❤️❤️

Karin and I would have our paths cross on a few occasions until we actually met. The build up was from passing awkward hello’s, at events or leaving class, to a public crash out (breakdown), at a random restaurant in Bavaria. I ranted on and on, I was a lonely, heartbroken, creatively blocked, artist who hadn’t spoken english in a months. Karin just happened to be in Germany. She took on the challenge of socializing with a disheveled stranger with grace, and let me have my moment. It was support that I felt indebted to have.

Victor and I met with less theatrics. He makes it a point for me to know he only vaguely, if at all, remembers the numerous lunches we had for weeks straight. But I do… Ha! I don’t know if its a front to be cool and down play his kindness, but through happenstance I found myself eating lunch at the “cool kid international student” table, and Victor could tell that now I was the outsider and would be a lifeline. He spared me from setting quietly, slowly dissociating, going out his way to bring me into conversations or just starting our own if need be. Soon during my tough schedule it became the highlight of my week grabbing lunch with him.

While Karin and I technically met in college, our first real conversation was in a little bar in Montreal, where we both happened to be on a wintry spring break! Am now far away in Singapore, but so grateful for that chance encounter that brought Karin and Viktor into my life, and so excited to celebrate them at the wedding with everyone!

I have shared some of my most enjoyable and memorable times in London with Kei and Vic. We lived together during our second year of masters in our cozy flat which we filled with amazing memories. I think of those times often, and each time with a smile on my face. They are the kindest, sweetest, most thoughtful people I know and witnessing their love for each other inspired me every single day I spent with them. I feel so incredibly happy to celebrate their love and their new chapter with all of you very soon! 🤍 - Ceren

I met Kei in my first weeks of uni, and right away I felt seen in a space where I was still finding my footing.

That legendary bird render? Still unforgettable! We just laughed our way through the struggles of that master’s otherwise we wouldn’t be here today. Later I met Vic, my Aquarius brother, and saw such a refreshing, beautiful relationship between you two, built on love, support and kindness. Both of you are so humble, loving, and amazing friends. My trip to New York to see you guys even had me ready to pack my bags and ditch London.

I’m so grateful for our friendship, and I can’t wait to celebrate you both. May God bless and guide your relationship always. See you soon!

I first met Karin and Vic on a summer evening in New York,(Verlaine!), just as they had moved to the city. From the moment we met, there was an immediate sense of familiarity and ease, the kind that usually takes forever to build. I was struck by how effortlessly we could all be our true selves with each other, with it feeling less like the beginning of something new, but rather a reunion with friends I had somehow already known forever.

In Karin, I found not just a confidant and steady source of support, but a kind hearted, empathetic soul whose presence brings warmth and joy into my life. And Vic, with his infectious energy, compassion, and endless stream of brilliant ideas continues to inspire and ground me.

To witness their relationship is to witness something rare and beautiful. Their love radiates outward, touching everyone lucky enough to be around them.

Lots of love to the couple and I’m overjoyed to be a part of the celebrations. ❤️

I first met Kei in college and she was the first person I met in the US who I truly felt I could be my honest, unfiltered and vulnerable self with. Since then, I’ve been lucky to call her close friend and even sister because for some reason, it feels like we’ve known each other longer than we have. Karin and Viktor have welcomed me into their homes wherever I’ve needed a place to stay - in London, Paris, or San Francisco - and each time, it’s been clear that their love brightens every room they enter. I’m so happy for them as they take this step and wish them a lifetime of joy, laughter, and love.
