What was our first date?

Dinner at Halikarnas authentic Turkish restaurant in Melbourne. 🌯

What's your favorite activity together?

Embarking on wild, unplanned adventures—whether it's a spontaneous road trip, getting lost in a new city, or trying something completely ridiculous just for the story. 🚗🌍✨

Where are you going for your honeymoon?

Dubai, Tajikstan, Azerbaijan, New York & Turkey ✈️🌍🇦🇿🇹🇯🇹🇷🗽

The most spontaneous thing we’ve done:

On a whim, we hit a drive-in to watch the most hilariously awful horror movie ever. It was so bad, we laughed more than we screamed! 🤣🎬🚗

The dorkiest thing about us is:

We get way too excited about organising things.

Daily to-do-lists? yes. Colour-coded spreadsheets? Absolutely. The joy of planning two holidays in advance? Indescribable bliss. 📋

We take pride in:

Our 3-hour long (sometimes 4) video calls. 📞

Our wildest adventure:

Hunting for a charger in Melbourne CBD for Bayan's sister's Tesla just after our first date. 💀

Who is the early bird and who is the night owl?

Pariya is up with the sun, ready to conquer the day. Bayan, on the other hand, considers 2 AM a perfectly reasonable bedtime. 😴

What unites you?

Our love for the gym, movie nights in, travel, networking, ambition (or sometimes overtly competitive drive), and our belief in the Baha'i Faith. Oh, and, laughing at our own lame jokes. 🤹

Dogs or cats?

Bayan - dogs in small doses, cats long term 🐶🐱

Pari - no comment

Given you live in different cities, how did you guys meet?

One day Pariya saw an interesting friend suggestion on Facebook for a profile of a world traveller that caught her attention. Shy to add him on Facebook, she took a more professional approach and connected on LinkedIn. Bayan saw a "smart", "studious" and "beautiful" girl he accepted and, with his inability to maintain professional boundaries, shot his shot. 🔫🎯 18 months later - here we are! 🤫😉

Who's punchin'?

We'll let you determine that one! 😜
