Description
Imran, a 55-year-old widowed architect from Lahore, had spent most of his life designing commercial buildings and homes, but now found himself with too much free time and no one to share it with. With his kids grown and settled abroad, he decided it was time to find a companion who shared his love for traveling and fine dining. “I can design the perfect house, but I needed someone to make it a home,” he jokes.
Salma, a 52-year-old widowed interior designer from Lahore, was in a similar situation. After years of creating stunning spaces for her clients and raising her two kids, who were now busy with their own lives, she felt ready for a new chapter. “My kids told me, ‘Mom, it’s time you find someone who appreciates all your design tips firsthand,’” Salma laughs.
Both joined MarryMax with little expectation but were pleasantly surprised to find each other. Imran admired Salma’s creativity and attention to detail, while Salma appreciated Imran’s passion for his work and his ability to turn conversations about floor plans into entertaining anecdotes. After a few online conversations, they met in person and quickly bonded over their shared love for architecture, travel, and fine dining.
Their families were thrilled to see them so happy, and after a small, intimate wedding, Imran and Salma began exploring their bucket-list destinations. “We’re not just partners; we’re collaborators in life and travel buddies,” says Salma. Imran adds with a grin, “Thanks to MarryMax, I finally found someone who loves debating over color schemes and restaurant menus as much as I do—and always wins!”
