romance

The story of Nazanin and Pedro starts with
a chemistry book. Nazanin had enrolled in
an organic chemistry course and needed to
purchase the required textbook. Pedro had
completed the course in the past and had
placed an ad to sell the above-mentioned
textbook on a student website. After an email
and a phone conversation, Nazanin and Pedro
met in front of the Woodward Library at the
University of British Columbia and the book
was sold. Pedro was unable to forget the short
interaction he had with Nazanin. He began
to contact her, resorting to any excuse he
could find in hopes of seeing her again. After
several months of text messages and random
encounters on campus, the pair finally went
for lunch and have been together ever since.

proposal

Pedro orchestrated a very creative proposal!
He commissioned a cartoonist to create an
animated cartoon of a little boy and little girl
that represented himself and Nazanin. The
story plot included key moments of their
relationship—how they met, their first kiss,
and the many memorable moments they
experienced over the years. The plot evolved
to the present day, with the little boy and little
girl on a couch watching a cartoon. At this
point, Pedro (who was sitting on a couch with
Nazanin) paused the cartoon and proposed.
Nazanin said, ‘Yes, of course!’
After the proposal, Pedro and Nazanin
headed off for dinner. As they descended from
their condo into the lobby, they heard music
playing from the building’s party room and
Pedro suggested they explore the noise. When
they entered, the room was filled with their
families and closest friends awaiting the newly
engaged couple.
