Once upon a time, in Cairo, Egypt there was a handsome, young man. The young man's name was Peter. He comes from a large, loving family that gather everyday spending time with each other laughing and enjoying each other's company. However, he felt like something was missing. He searched and searched to find what was missing but had no luck. He felt as life was draining from him as he began to only focus on work. He felt as if he was meant to spend his life alone with no one to fill the empty void he felt in his heart. That was until his older cousin Linda shared a picture with him of a young woman. From the second he saw her smile, he knew that this young woman would one day be his wife. 5,612 miles away there was Rita. Living in Irvington, New York, she spent her days working and hanging out with her friends. She had been searching for her forever person with no luck as well. That was until her 29th Birthday she overheard her mother and friend Linda discussing of a potential suitor and if she would be interested. The next day they were going out to get their nails done when her mother asked if she would be interested. Rita agreed and her and Peter began to talk over messenger. As the day went by Rita began to overthink and thought having a long distance relationship was not going to work. This thought bothered her and she voiced her thoughts to her parents and friends. Her mom encouraged her to give it a chance but Rita being as stubborn as she is was determined to end it just after a couple days. After work the following Monday, Rita was determined to end things. As she was going to message Peter, he had messaged her first asking if they can speak over the phone. Rita agreed and to her surprise they had lasted 5 hours speaking on the phone. This became their daily routine. They would text all day and when Rita would finish work they speak over the phone even though they had a 7 hour time difference. Though the time was short Peter knew that Rita was going to one day be his wife and a few short weeks later he was determined to make his dream a reality. Both of their fathers spoke over the phone and Rita's father gave his blessing for Peter to ask for Rita's hand. Peter popped the question on June 30th however they became officially engaged when Rita and her family made the trip to Egypt in October of 2022. Peter used the day they arrived to surprise Rita with a proposal that she had dreamed of and were officially engaged on October 17th, 2022.
