Our little story begins on a cold windy California night, in the heart of Pasadena. With no concrete plans for the night in Woodland Hills, Ali took an invitation by a friend to a group dinner at Gyu Kaku in Old Town. Meanwhile in Pasadena, a young beautiful girl by the name of Nadia was preparing herself to attend a group dinner at the very same location. Little did they know they were both walking into a dinner that while change both of their lives.
As Ali arrived, only knowing but one person in the group, he introduced himself and sat down, slowly glancing across the table. As he was about to give up his search for an interesting face to mingle with, his eyes landed upon a stunning sight and the most beautiful smile he had ever seen. Looking for a second to gather himself, he knew he had to find out who this mysterious girl was. After getting some brief information from a friend, he stood up, and began to walk over. After the introducing himself, the two struck up a conversation, that before the knew, lasted all night. By the end of the night, they knew this was no ordinary chance meeting, that something special and bigger was in the work, it was serendipitous. From then on, they spent every weekend together.
