Saeed Al Mehairi

It was the closest thing to a fairytale. A modern day 1001 nights story, their love was rumored to be as great as Romeo and Juliette, god knows maybe they would have also been jealous like the rest of the people in the world. He took her around the world in cruises, private jets and trains. They have traveled from country to country looking for the best food, art and culture. Knowing him, he would have done anything to please her, to make her happy. So typically, at the bottom of the Eiffel tower he popped the question with dreams, hopes, and love in his eyes.

He asked her softly would you marry me?

So her, being Hamda, very bluntly replied: Don’t be ridiculous Jassim, I can’t be seen pushing you in a wheelchair at my own wedding!
