i was fairly new to dubai when colleagues invited me to a party. it was in a vila behind lloyds bank on al wasl. i met dh there but that night wasnt interested in him at all. fast forward 1 year, i'm at a friend's farewell (some restaurant at the meridien airport hotel) and he's there. we were talking the entire evening before we figured out that we met at that party 1 year ago. because we hit it off that evening neither of us could believe that there was no interest at the time! we started dating and 2 years later were married. we are celebrating 9 years together this year :)
one of the reasons i love dubai so much :D
