Sejoli Sejauh: Louisa & Andika

Louisa Graciella and Andika Setia Budi began their journey through a friend’s introduction. Even though they had worked at the same office—but at different times—they didn’t actually meet until a mutual acquaintance connected them. Louisa initially hesitated, but Andika’s persistence convinced her to give it a try. They soon found themselves talking for hours on a first date, visiting a coffee shop, grabbing ice cream, and even enjoying boba drinks—all in one day. 

They dated for about two years before marrying in March 2022. During that time, both felt it was essential to know each other’s perspectives and life goals, so they attended a premarital class. This experience gave them the chance to explore various aspects of married life, from finances to future plans. Being in sync on important matters helped them decide they were ready to move forward together.

When it comes to clothing, Louisa and Andika prefer items that match but aren’t identical. They love how Sejauh Mata Memandang pieces offer unique patterns and styles that complement one another without being too similar. For their pre-wedding session, they chose outfits that reflected this idea—coordinated but still distinct. Louisa especially appreciates how the designs make her feel comfortable, yet polished enough for casual workdays. 

For Louisa, living with a sense of responsibility means paying attention to what she buys and why. She recognizes that caring about the production process and the people behind each garment is part of making thoughtful choices. Both Louisa and Andika also try to minimize waste at home, hoping their small steps today will help future generations enjoy a cleaner world. They believe that with mutual trust, honesty, and a focus on shared goals, any couple can build a solid foundation for the road ahead.
