How long have you known Youri?
I have known Youri for years since he works within the André Rieu organization, but it wasn’t until the King’s Coronation in Amsterdam when we saw one another again (after I had been living in Australia again for a year) that we really fell in love! We met in Mexico City and always had a good laugh with one another. He is such a funny guy and always knows how to make me laugh by doing something goofy.
After the King’s Coronation we stayed in touch and then after the Vrijthof concerts last year we started dating officially.
Is it the Youri we all know by
face? The man from André's security team?
I hope you understand that I cannot talk about that, nor mention his last name, because Youri's contract does not allow me to.
How did Youri pop up the question?
He organized an incredibly romantic dinner. Suddenly after the main course, Giedrė and Agnes walked in playing their violins (I had no idea what they were doing there and was completely stunned) to the tune that Youri always sings for me. I recognized it almost
immediately and started laughing and
crying at the same time. Then Marcel and Bob from the male choir walked in and
started singing the lyrics that Youri had written for me. Then he got down on
one knee and proposed to me and of course I said "YES!" He gave me a beautiful
diamond ring. It was a very special moment shared with our close
friends.
Which nationality is Youri?
Youri and I have exactly the same heritage: we are both 3/4 Dutch and 1/4 Polish . Except I was born in Australia and he was born in Holland!
Are you going to live in Maastricht together?
We are going to be moving to Maastricht together in September and we are very much looking forward to that.
