Find out what makes Alicia Souza & George Seemon’s marriage story so unique

Text: Susmitha Suresh   Photos: Various Sources

When Bangalore based couple Alicia Souza and George Seemon got married, it was just them and the witnesses, on an off day when they were all the least busy, showing up at the registrar. A few signatures and an exchange of garlands later, they were married! There was no hullabaloo with the intricacies that are usually involved in a wedding, and there was no ‘corniness’ involved.

But when they posted the news online, there followed a huge hype regarding their unique wedding and their unconventional way of announcing it to the world. Unique like how she chose to respond to his proposal.FWD Life 2 Alicia Souza & George Seemon’s marriage story

What followed could only be termed mushy and romantic. She dedicated a whole website in his name. “Dearest George”, about which George jokingly says, “..now I have to live with the fact that there is an illustration of me in my undergarments all over the internet” . Because love is, after all, always in the little things we do for one another, hoping to make them smile. FWD Life got in touch with the couple to learn more about their marriage, their story and the love they share for the other.

When asked about the other, they both had only ‘good’ things to say!

George: “She is a happy soul, She can not dislike anyone! She sees happiness in things we normally wouldn’t (for example when you she sees a cow take a pee, she glows with delight, haha). She loves stories, she loves her work, and is weirdly perfect.”

Alicia: “A kind, loving, smart, caring, nice, funny, sometimes hard to please, still-didn’t-fix-the-toilet-tube-light, gentleman.”

…….because honestly, nobody’s that perfect.

We went on to ask them a couple of more questions regarding the website Alicia dedicated to George and the comics inside.

You had a simple wedding in the least cheesiest way. But you have a whole website dedicated for him. Wouldn’t it be right to say you’re an unconventional hopeless romantic? Can you tell me a little bit about that?

Alicia: “Haha I think I am! I am such a sucker for doing silly things that would make George smile. It makes me happy too! I think we have a drawer full of love notes. It may be part of what I do for a living too..because every time i feel like telling him I absolutely adore him, I draw it.”

In the comics it’s said that you gave her a long lecture while asking her out. Is there a backstory behind it?

George: “I just thought that it made more sense to let her know how I felt in advance and in detail rather than throw hints along the way (haha!). I realised we are adults, we know what we want in our partner and when you see a girl you like, you don’t let her go.

Secretly, I knew she liked me so it was a safe gamble 🙂 “

Then the talk went onto how they(George) were ‘not’ cheesy or corny. Personally, we think they are in their own unique way.

Though you’re both obviously not into ‘corniness’, don’t you think the whole thing turned into something mushy and corny anyway?

George: “I am not even remotely corny, though Alicia begs to differ! She is the one who actually does that for the two of us! When we decided that we weren’t going to have a big wedding, we talked about how we should announce it. I said maybe design a card (She makes it, I post it…that’s how all our snail mail works). But then Alicia surprised me with the website a day before it was officially launched. I knew I had lost complete control by then, and now I have to live with the fact that there is an illustration of me in my undergarments all over the internet. Alicia, however, is thoroughly amused.”

Can you describe your simple wedding story, with its unique storyline to us?

Alicia: We met. “He said ‘let’s go out’. I said ‘okkkayyyyy!’. Many moons passed. He asked me to marry him. The rest is now!

We have the simplest wedding story with a whole lot of cheesiness!”

If you could compare your love story to a pop culture love story (movie/series/book), what would it be and why?

Alicia: “50 first dates only because my memory is pretty similar to Drew Barrymore’s in that movie. And because Adam Sandler is quite adorable and persistent as George had been. Well, I mean he was persistent but he IS adorable haha.”

We concluded the interview with what we’d like to call a classic question. The answer left us feeling mushy inside, so much sweetness all packed into one answer!

Can you tell me a little bit about both of you?

Alicia: “I think we’re a bit of an ‘old’ couple in most ways. Even though we’ve been seeing each other for less than 5 years, I feel that everything has been so comfortable and seamless since we got together, that it feels like it’s been 50, in the least boring way! We’re both similar in the fact that we have independent daily lives, love meeting people and also love staying at home, and eat really, really fast (haha!). We’re also superbly different in many ways, which makes things interesting!”

5 Sustainable Interior Design Trends to Embrace in 2024

Published

on

As the world becomes increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability, it’s no surprise that eco-friendly practices are making their way into the realm of interior design. In 2024, we can expect to see a surge in sustainable interior design trends that not only enhance the beauty of our living spaces but also minimise our environmental footprint. From repurposed materials to energy-efficient solutions, here are five sustainable interior design trends to embrace this year.

Upcycled Furniture:

One of the most prominent sustainable interior design trends of 2024 is the use of upcycled furniture. Instead of buying new pieces, consider giving old furniture a new lease on life by refurbishing or repurposing them. From reclaimed wood tables to refurbished chairs, upcycled furniture adds character and charm to your space while reducing waste and conserving resources.

Biophilic Design:

Biophilic design, which emphasizes a connection to nature, continues to gain popularity in 2024. Integrating natural elements such as plants, natural light, and organic materials into your interior design not only enhances aesthetics but also promotes well-being and sustainability. Consider incorporating living walls, indoor gardens, and sustainable wood finishes to bring the outdoors inside and create a healthier living environment.

Energy-Efficient Lighting:

With a growing focus on energy conservation, energy-efficient lighting solutions are becoming a staple in sustainable interior design. LED lights, in particular, consume significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last much longer, reducing both energy consumption and maintenance costs. Additionally, consider incorporating natural light sources such as skylights and large windows to maximize daylight and minimize the need for artificial lighting during the day.

Sustainable Textiles:

When it comes to upholstery and soft furnishings, opting for sustainable textiles is key to reducing environmental impact. Look for fabrics made from organic or recycled materials, such as organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, or recycled polyester. These materials not only reduce the use of harmful chemicals and pesticides but also minimize waste and support eco-friendly production practices. Additionally, consider investing in durable, high-quality textiles that stand the test of time, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Smart Home Technology:

In 2024, smart home technology continues to evolve, offering innovative solutions for sustainable living. From smart thermostats that optimize energy usage to home automation systems that control lighting and appliances, these technologies can help reduce energy consumption and increase efficiency in your home. Additionally, smart home devices such as occupancy sensors and smart meters provide valuable insights into your energy usage, empowering you to make informed decisions about resource management and conservation.

As we strive to create more sustainable living environments, embracing these five interior design trends can help reduce our environmental impact while creating beautiful and functional spaces. Whether you’re upcycling old furniture, incorporating natural elements, or investing in energy-efficient technologies, every sustainable choice contributes to a greener future for generations to come. So let’s embrace these trends and make sustainability a cornerstone of our interior design practices in 2024 and beyond.
