When Casper Ettelson first spotted Serena Wardell at a party in Sydney, Australia in March 2020, he felt an instant attraction. “Casper was very bold and came up to me immediately to ask me on a date,” Serena says.
The model and artist had just moved back to the city, and told him “maybe.” After spending some time together with friends at the beach, having coffee and dinners together, she agreed to go on a date with Casper, who is co-founder of Fishbowl Australia (Thisbowl in New York), a fast-casual salad chain. Soon after they met, the first Covid lockdown began, and they dated long distance as Serena went to live with her parents. “When Casper repeatedly tried to book me flights back to Sydney mid-pandemic, I knew that this was serious,” Serena says.
