Mateen & Monica's Wedding

On the evening of the 20th of April, 2007 (shortly after our engagement luncheon) we attended the wedding of two of our dear friends, Mateen and Monica. It was a beautiful ceremony near the shore of the beach facing the Mediterranean Sea and the sunset. We danced away to Persian, Brazilian and Euro Dance music... Mateen's favorite! We love you both lots and wish you a great and successful life together!

Engagement Luncheon

On a beautiful hot and sunny 20th of April, 2007 Nahid and I, together with a group of our close friends went out to Cesarea Golf Club Restaurant (roughly 30 minutes from Haifa) to celebrate our long awaited engagement. My brother Bayan was also in town for a three day visit, so it was great to be with family and friends on our special day.

What was the climax of the day and what everyone was waiting for was how I was going to pull the ring out and put it on Nahid's finger. After having a wonderful meal and just before the dessert came out, I began to give a speech.

I thanked everyone for coming and sharing this momentous occasion with us, and let everyone know how much I loved Nahid, etc, etc... I then in front of the whole restaurant asked Nahid to stand... (at this point she became a little confused)... and I got down on my knee and popped open the ring... (as this was happening she frantically was trying to lift me up... it was really funny). The whole restaurant roared with applause!! It was definitely great times! :)

Mi amorcito bella... Te amo muchisimo!!

ENGAGED!!

Toronto, Chicago & Bolivia!!

Nahid and I have recently returned to the Holy Land from an amazing trip to Toronto, Chicago and Bolivia visiting family and friends. We had such a great time seeing both our parents and traveling together really consolidated the foundation of our relationship.We first stopped in Chicago where we met up for a short period of time with Nahid's sister Leila and her husband Nuri. Leila is currently 4 months pregnant and we are all so excited for her and waiting for the baby. I will become an uncle and Nahid an aunt... incredible! After a 9 hour stop over in Chicago we headed for Toronto where we stayed for 7 days spending time with my family and seeing many friends.

It was great times!! After a beautiful time in Toronto we headed for Bolivia where we stopped once again in Chicago and stayed over night with our cousin Mae. Leila also came down again and spent the night and day with us. We went to the Baha'i House of Worship in Wilmette together, which was a beautiful experience. Next stop was Bolivia. I hadn't been back to Bolivia for 5 years and for Nahid it had been 3 years. It was great for both of us being back. I unfortunately had to leave a week earlier and we missed each other so much during that time apart. I don't think we'll ever do it again! :P

Overall, an amazing experience and an incredible trip that will never be forgotten.
