“My special Valentine is my husband, Jerome. We randomly sat next to each other on a flight from Philly to Chicago and the next thing I know, 20 years later, we are married with 2 kids and a dog! He makes me laugh all the time. As much as I complain about Jerome’s goofy “Dad Jokes”, I secretly love them and as much as he complains about me singing along too loudly with songs on the radio, I think he secretly loves it too. I guess you could say we are the Yin to each other’s Yang!” — Laura

MICHEL + ANNE

“41 years of marriage soon -next May- and still very happy to be together. We share a taste for travel and gastronomy, for being surrounded by our three children and our five grandchildren, and for living alongside each other on a daily basis without forgetting…the pleasure of chocolate!” — Michel

Michel is our Investor and co-Founder of Chocolat-e. He lives in Nantes, France.

ANNETTE + GREG

“The car business brought them together. A long distance friendship over 9 years, while Greg served in the Army, strengthened their bond and respect for one another. Finally in 2014, she pulled up her big girl panties and asked him out. They have been together ever since. Adventuring with cross country road trips, hiking, snow shoeing, and kayaking top the to-do list. Their fuzzy son, Sherman, and the youngest addition to the adventure, Greyson have brought a whole new complexity and reward to their lives.” — Annette

LARRY + BRENDA

“Brenda & I met on a blind date. We just celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary in December. We like to travel, going to restaurants and Golden Retrievers!! We have two adult kids. We have the same birth date (a couple of years apart)! Frankly, I’m not sure why she puts up with me but she does.”— Larry

AUBRIE + DAVID

“We met at Camera World in downtown Portland.  We have been married for 13 years.  We adore our black lab, Jasper.  David and I love going on adventures together.  Our “other child” is our Jeep Rubicon that we take off-roading, Overlanding, and camping.  And David is definitely the “better” half of our duo.  ;)” — Aubrie

CHRISTOPHE + GWLADYS

“Gwladys and I met 25 years ago, as coworkers. Then 18 years later, when a rehearsal lead to a drink and a sofa! We both are cooks and gourmets, travelling through the landscapes as well as the dishes and specialties. The French countryside is full of wonders! We love the selfish pleasure of being only two. We tolerate our 4 children for their curiosity and enthusiasm. We invite and spoil our friends. Dark chocolate is a permanent guest, wether we are reading side-by-side with jazz / 90s rock in the background or completing a banquet for 12 people.” — Christophe

ERIC + OTI

“The day you came into my life, you filled me with happiness, passion and shared joys. I love your sincerity, your tenderness, and your generosity. May this love continue then we will enjoy together these very beautiful moments that the years to come will offer us.” — Eric
