13 Years …. and going strong. 

 

Salaam all,

Seems like yesterday that Ahmed and I met. It was a blind date thanks to my sister and Ahmed's cousin (story for another day). We met a La Playa at the Waterfront it was a Sunday afternoon in January 2009. I spilled Mango juice on my pants (yes that actually happened), he jumped at the opportunity to help me clean it off my leg. He drove me home and met my parents that same night. Yes, things moved very quickly that day. He stayed for supper and after supper he asked my eldest brother if he could see me again. In true form, my brother (got to love him) says "we will see …" and walks away. He went home and told his mom he wants to get married she needs to plan. Lol. 

That same month we got engaged and 6 months later we were married. 

 

Yes, I know it sound crazy and weird and and.... but when you know you have met your soulmate you know. 

Thank you, Ahmed for being my rock through everything. May Allah grant us everything of best today, tomorrow, and always, In Sha Allah Ameen. 

 

Salaam 

Ayesha
