When you love someone, sometimes you have to let them go because absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tony fell madly in love with Suja while they were both attending Millwoods Christian school. They knew each other well enough to be each other’s grad dates (even though they graduated a year apart) but never really spoke. It wasn’t until Tony left for a 4 month trip to Australia in 2003 that Suja also realized that the boy who had taken her to Grad was more than just a date, he was her one.
Half a decade had passed since Tony had fallen in love and now that Suja realised her feelings they unofficially started their relationship with the trying test of long-distance. Tony would call, dirt broke and hungry and sounding sad. Suja, bag of Cheetos in hand, would curl up in bed waiting for his call (Australia is 16 hours ahead of Edmonton!), after all, nothing is more important than cheering up someone you care about when they’re sad.
Tony + Suja are a perfect balance, while they may not agree on everything, their personalities compliment each other beautifully. This was apparent even on their first date to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Suja hated it, Tony loved it. That might have something to do with Tony’s passion for playing the piano and while Suja may love a serenade from her beau, he wasn’t in the orchestra for her to enjoy.
As a couple, they are romance personified. From long walks, dinners for two (even if it’s McDonalds!) and listening to love songs regardless of musical genre. While Tony has an adventurous streak and the little boy in him doesn’t see a problem with dirt, Suja is more careful and organized and a bit of a germaphobe. What one lacks the other brings to the relationship so while Tony’s out on the field playing sports Suja’s cheering him on from the sidelines.
Suja + Tony – we can’t wait for your wedding! You two are beautifully matched and we’re positive the wedding will be organized spontaneity at its finest!
Your BigMac buddies,
~Anton + Rina
