Love and true love have no color, religion, race or nationality. When two hearts in love come together all social conventions are cast aside…

This is how his love story begins George and Gamze… Two young people fell in love and united with the sacred bonds of marriage regardless of the fact that he is Cretan and she is of Turkala Kurdish origin. In fact, the even nicer thing about their tender love story is that none of their relatives showed the slightest reaction to their lifelong union.

She is 28 years old and her husband, Giorgos, is 31, originally from Skinia, Viannos. They met in the cafe where she worked, in the center of Heraklion, and have been together for six years! In fact, their love was sealed when the fruit of their love came into the world, a little girl just 1.5 years old.

Gamze’s father arrived in Crete as a political refugee in 2000 and a year later her mother, her brother and herself came to the island while two of her siblings were born here in Greece.

Gamze has finished a Greek school and speaks Greek fluently and has studied decoration. The young woman states that the only issues they faced were of a bureaucratic nature. She had to be baptized an Orthodox Christian in order for their daughter’s wedding and baptism to take place. “But being baptized was something I wanted anyway and I did it with great joy. I was baptized in Psari of Viannos two years ago where I received the name Myrsini!” he reports with obvious excitement to Cretalive.

The wedding took place in the Church of Agios Georgios in Anopoli, on 17/6/2023, with Eleni as maid of honor and the baby’s godfather (common son, as we say in Crete) Andreas.

Therefore, Myrsini, through Cretalive, wants to convey the message that: “in love there are no borders, religion, colors and it is above everything”!
