Beena Weds Sunny on December 30, 2011
While we wish all our readers a very Happy New Year 2012 we are back with a brand new love story. This is the story of an Indo-Pak love journey that was started by Beena Yusuf Bali and Sunny Bali some three years ago. Their journey began as they got introduced by mutual friends, but who knew that a simple chat over skype and several exchange of emails will turn this into a love at first sight affair.
“On our first meeting when Sunny said “lets do this” I knew that he was definitely the one. He surprised me and swept me off my feet by just uttering those simple words. Three years later we are here married and all ready to start on with this journey,” shares Beena.
Beena Ali hails from a reputed South Asian family with high family values who was most definitely raised like a princess. “My parents have not spoiled me, but pampered me for sure. I feel like a princess at home,” says Beena. So for the princess the wedding had to be special. The wedding is one of the most memorable events in every girl’s life and she wanted it no different. “I would love to relive that moment with my husband again. It was classy, elegant, and intimate,” she says.

The Story of George
It didn’t take me long to notice the blond haired, blue eyed dart chucking champion on the other team. He had the kind of boyish grin that made me feel 15 again. What’s more is, it didn’t take him long to notice me either. The banter began in an effortless two-step of wit and witticism.
