Our first date? 11:30 PM, delivering packages in scruffy tees. After a late-night McDonald’s drive-thru, we ended up talking until dawn. Looking wildly unpolished and exhausted, that chaotic night made one thought pop into our minds: ‘Hey, I think we actually click!’

Four years in, and what a ride! We’ve braved plenty of bumps and know more lie ahead, but we love every moment. Turns out, we’re the ultimate duo: calm, steady Albert grounding the adventure, while unpredictable, firecracker Carmel keeps life exciting. Opposites really do make the best team.

On our last day in Darwin, sunburnt, devouring pizza and cola, unromantic Albert unexpectedly popped the question! No grand script or fancy setup, just pure, unfiltered us in our favorite place. It couldn’t have been more perfect.
