Warmth, kindness, and a talent that turns every meal—especially her legendary leek carbonara—into a feast: that is Sara. She is the rock for her friends and the soul of the family. When she walks into a room, the sun rises. She loves life, straight talk, and the light—which she much prefers to leave on rather than turn off. The fact that punctuality isn’t exactly a priority for her or her family is simply part of her relaxed charm.

Sara’s extreme spontaneity often puts Marcel to the test. It’s not uncommon for them to fly to a foreign country with nothing but a flight and a rental car booked. When the first hotel is only secured upon arrival at the airport, Marcel might have a minor crisis, but in the end, they complement each other perfectly. They are a team that masters every adventure—her with radiant spontaneity, him with the necessary stability.

Marcel loves punctuality—to him, being late is practically a crime. Nothing enters our home before he has spent hours researching to find the best quality at the best price. He is an outstanding listener and solves my problems usually within seconds to days—depending on the level of difficulty.

Romance flows through his veins, even if he doesn’t always show it right away. But what I love most is his big heart, which constantly shines through. Thanks to his great willingness to help, he is equally popular with friends, family, and colleagues—everyone loves spending time with him.

He has often despaired over my spontaneity, as he prefers to plan everything down to the smallest detail and leaves nothing to chance. But that is exactly why we complement each other so well: he plans—and I surprise.
