Tell us about your first date? (or your first meeting)

Laurence – It was in Marrakech, a lot of candles, surrounded by palmtrees on a terrace in the center of the city. I just moved to Marrakech, I remember it as a magical Arabian night. Ayoub picked me up a bit for midnight, we had drinks in a bar I had never been, we laughed all night.

Ayoub – We met for the first time in mid-August 2015 at a dinner in Marrakech through my best friend Ali. Few days later, we went to have a drink very late in the evening in an outdoor bar in Marrakech just the two of us and we really had a connection and it’s where it all started!
