🎙️ The Love Story of Tom & Luca
Tom met Luca at a friend's Eurovision party. Luca arrived in full sequins and zero chill. Tom was wearing jeans and had no idea what was going on. By the time Finland's entry lit a fake piano on fire, they were already deep in conversation about childhood cartoons and who would play them in a biopic. (Luca said "Zac Efron but gayer". Tom said "Maybe... Paddington?")
They didn't exchange numbers. Tom chickened out. But Luca found him on Instagram via "mutual friends and light stalking" within 48 hours.
Their first date was at a rooftop bar where Tom knocked over his drink within 90 seconds. Luca pretended not to notice—until Tom apologised four times and tried to pay for the whole evening. Luca said, "You're nervous, aren't you?" Tom nodded. Luca grinned.
The moment it got real? Maybe when Tom caught Covid and Luca dropped off home-cooked soup and a handmade crossword. Or when Luca had a work crisis and Tom sat on a late-night Zoom with him just to say, "You've got this." Either way, it stopped being casual—and started being home.
The proposal? Luca went big. Flash mob. Rooftop. 27 friends holding signs. Tom cried. Then panicked and asked if he was expected to dance. (He wasn't.)
Tom says Luca is electric. Brave. Endlessly supportive. Luca says Tom is the calm in the chaos, the reason he's braver than he used to be, and the best part of every ordinary day.
Together, they're the perfect duet: chaotic harmony with matching socks (most of the time).
