Aleha & Abid

“He said, “No worries, you have my number.” Three weeks later I messaged him, and we haven't stopped talking since.”

Aleha’s brother created her profile and within a week, she matched with Abid. He was in Toronto and she was in New York City.

During a stressful week at work, Aleha realized she didn’t have the bandwidth to keep up with any of her matches on the app and took a step away. Abid understood and told her to reach out if/when she was ready to continue getting to know him. Three weeks later, she did just that.

With the USA-Canada border closed, they had to wait 5 months after matching to finally go on their first date.

He proposed in 2023, they married in 2024 and welcomed their Jalebi baby in 2026.
