How did your love story begin? We met while working at the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, Canada, in 2008. We are both French. Richard had just transferred from Four Seasons Washington and Marie from the Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel. We started dating in 2009, got engaged in Bora Bora in 2012 and got married in Paris in 2013.
Favorite thing about one another: Marie: Richard’s strong determination and positive energy.
Richard: Marie’s patience and care about others.
Favorite date night: A wonderful restaurant with delicious food, great wines and fun design.
Favorite tradition you have as a couple: Going antique shopping together when we are on a getaway, just the two of us.
What does your happily ever after look like? Raising our boys in a house that we have fully renovated (we both love design). We have fully renovated three places so far.
What does your happily ever after look like? Traveling to different places and discovering new cultures and traditions while remaining very attached to our French roots.
