Our Story
After a very stressful week for Alia, Adrian came down to Chapel Hill and they went to her favorite Turkish restaurant for dinner. The two were seated in a little back room with Middle Eastern style seating on the floor. Alia, with her Saudi background and short legs, was very comfortable sitting on the floor and was thoroughly enjoying the delicious food and wine. Meanwhile, Adrian, with his Colombian background and not so flexible legs, was a bit fidgety and did not seem able to get comfortable.
A creme chocolat was ordered for dessert, yet something that looked like Baklava was served. Alia, a little confused and wondering what had happened to the creme chocolat did not notice the ring box in the middle of the plate. Adrian picked up the box and, down on one elbow, asked Alia to marry him. She, of course, said yes.....but never got her creme chocolat!
