Mikko and Kristiina Kekäläinen celebrate their 20th anniversary – They relive their first meeting

Mikko and Kristiina Kekäläinen remember each other in a touching way with their social media.

Journalist couple Mikko and Kristiina Kekäläinen have been together for 20 years and married since 2008. They have two children: Intake and Martha.

The couple reflects on their journey together on their own Instagram accounts. Mikko thinks about what their relationship has been like over the years.

– Without seeing the picture, Kristiina did not agree to the first date organized by our friends on December 5, 2003. Everything has happened very quickly since then. There hasn’t been a dull moment, the editor says in his publication.

– They say that you have to work for a long relationship. However, this has not felt like a work site, rather like a game. We haven’t always agreed on everything, but always on the same side, he adds.

Kristiina has similarly published pictures of them over the years and shares her own view of the couple’s first meeting.

– I am absolutely sure that on Friday 5.12. from the beginning of the evening I sat in my friend’s car, in the (literally) place of a scared person, and I stared in panic at a cold man in a black leather jacket on the other side of the road: Mikko, Kristiina recalls in her post.

– At the time, I didn’t know much about him other than that our mutual friends thought we would be a perfect couple. Huh! We had agreed to go on a blind date in Amarillo, Joensuu. We think it was a blind date, although according to Miko, we had talked about a date on the phone once before: “Or you talked, I listened,” he continues.

Kristiina reflected that their meeting was an insane coincidence.

– When it was perfectly possible to decide otherwise. But it’s not decided. Luckily we went, luckily we met, luckily it happened this way, he concludes.
