It was clear on the first date

«In our case, Kathrin really got the match spot on. And although we might perhaps have met by chance for professional reasons – we both had our focus elsewhere. On the very first date with Claudia (35), I knew: This is the woman I’m going to marry. Academic, sporty, warm and blessed with a great sense of black humour. I gave it my best shot, and it worked out. After nearly two years, I asked her if she wanted to be my wife. Her answer: I wanted that after the first date.»
