Our Story
Late one evening during the Christmas holidays of 2009, fate brought both Siri and Minel to Oslo's coolest nightclub, Gabler. That night, they met for the very first time — and Siri fell in love at first sight.
After some kissing on the dance floor, Minel had to leave to grab a kebab and catch the last bus home to Drammen.
Siri went home an hour later, still completely lost in her daydreams. After the one-hour drive back to Sande, she sat down at her computer and started searching.
Monil? No.
Menol? No.
Minel! There he was.
She sent him a message, hoping they would meet again. But when Siri opened Facebook the next day, there was no reply. Not the day after. And not the day after that either.
Fast forward five years.
It's January 2015. Siri is at Chris's place in Copenhagen. It's noon — and she's hungover.
Siri and Chris decide to swipe on Tinder for each other, hoping to find a dream partner.
Ping! Chris swipes right on Minel. It's a match.
Siri is annoyed. She's convinced he's definitely not her type.
A few days later, Minel sends Siri a message. He says there's something familiar about her. Siri dismisses it as a cheesy pickup line — but she's still a little curious.
After some texting, Minel sends her a friend request on Facebook — and suddenly, an old message from the Christmas holidays of 2009 appears…
Siri immediately wants the ground to swallow her whole. She had been doing such a good job playing hard to get — and now that image completely falls apart.
But now they're both curious about what actually happened five years earlier. After a bit of digging through old messages, they both remember that night.
Minel asks if they should meet for a coffee. Siri replies that she'd need to be drunk to dare to meet him, and instead suggests a night out. She calls the world's best cousin, Anne-Lise, who agrees to come along as moral support — despite having planned a quiet evening.
Siri is nervous. And very excited.
Minel, meanwhile, is at a costume party, surrounded by ten women, and isn't sure whether he should even leave his little harem to meet a random girl.
Thankfully, he does.
And when they finally meet, it's just:
CLICK.
BANG.
KABOOM!
Siri falls in love all over again.
And Minel does too.
