London was our first home. We met at Nazia's birthday party on the 15th October 2015. Thank you Nazia for being born that day. Thank you Ally (her husband), for inviting Aly to the birthday party and thank you Benny for planting the seed in Aly's mind that there is a nice girl, Dibah, he may want to meet!
You all allowed us to make London our first home.
When Aly told me that we had to fly to Ottawa for Canada day, I initially though he was joking. But he was not at all. He is a very patriotic citizen! Aly has immersed me into the culture as much as possible. From the cottage life in the summer, to the snow trails and Canadian tubs in the winter, I am discovering all that Canada has to offer. The ruse has worked as we are now excited to settle in Toronto. Was this his plan all along? (Dibah)
This is us climbing up the steps of a temple in Thailand. I never had much of an opportunity to travel when I was younger. I learned to love it after I moved to London and visited 40 cities in 7 years. Travelling with Dibah has been some of the highlights of our time together. It's having a home and an adventure all at once. (Aly)
Although a little reluctant to go to Oktoberfest initially (sticky tables isn't my thing), what an incredible experience this was! I expected chaos and instead saw families, fun fair, happiness and a good time all in one place. It was an amazing 3 days. This is somewhere I would have never been without Aly and a moment that reminds me how thankful I am that he opens my mind to experience more things with him everyday! (Dibah)
We had rented a sailing boat on a regular Sunday in Barcelona #MBAlife with a few friends. A 4 hours sailing trip soon turned into an all day, sunset and party with amazing company, music and freedom. With Dibah, I don't need to choose between my girl and partying. She's the best party companion one could want. (Aly)
My first summer in Canada with Aly, he invited me to the cottage with his family. I watched breathtaking sunsets, lounged on the boat and caught my first fish. Aly can achieve what others cannot - make me be quiet for a few minutes and keep my laptop and phone away for days in row. That's just one more reason I love him. (Dibah)
Something amazing about Dibah is how she can learn to enjoy what I enjoy. This way I always have someone to share with. Whether it is learning to handle how I cook all three meals of the day for us with chilies, watching Leaf games at any time of the night or learning the lyrics to the music I grew up with, she does not shy away from the unfamiliar and makes my passions her own.
