Andrew and Sabrina dive into the wild, unpredictable story of how they met in Shanghai—a city buzzing with the energy of its modern “roaring 20s.” Sabrina, fresh out of Germany and ready to explore the world, found herself navigating this chaotic metropolis after a dud internship. Meanwhile, her future partner was zipping between New York and Shanghai, quickly falling for the city’s vibrant charm. They crossed paths at Laris, a swanky bar on the Bund, sparking a connection that led to two hilariously unconventional first dates—one involving a group dinner with families (and kids!) capped off at a jazz club. From snake photoshoots to lychee martinis, their whirlwind romance thrived on surprises and leaps of faith. With humor, mishaps, and a lot of heart, they chose to rewrite their plans, staying together in Shanghai before embarking on new adventures.
