On July 26, the Zurich SP Councilor Daniel Jositsch and French bookseller Alexia Darce in Zurich gave themselves the yes. “We then celebrated a family framework at a dinner,” says the politician on request. The couple had been engaged since last December.
The step has a symbolic character for Jositsch. “For me, the covenant of the marriage represents the commitment to the relationship,” says the Zürcher. Of course, the marriage also has legal advantages. For example, she is a coverage for the future if one of the spouses became sick.
Jositsch and Darce have known each other for over ten years – now they have closed the covenant of the marriage.

He got to know Darce more than ten years ago in a bookstore in Zurich, reports the SP politician. To lose weight, he bought a fitness device at the time. So that it does not become too monotonous in sports, he looked at series. Born in the French, he provided him with exciting film suggestions.
The comedian Viktor Giacobbo advised him several times to complete a Netflix subscription. In order not to miss the recurring chat with the bookseller, Jositsch decided against his friend’s good advice. When Darce no longer worked in the bookstore, the two made a coffee for the first time.
