The duo first met at one of George‘s parties at his home on Lake Como, Italy, in 2013.

According to the writer of Amal‘s Vogue cover story, she is a “big emailer,” and their initial correspondence included “repeated notes in the voice of his dog Einstein, who claimed to be trapped in various places and in need of legal rescue.”

Too funny!
