This past weekend, my wife and I had the pleasure of finally sitting down with the parents of our son, Muhammad Ridhuan’s girlfriend, Yasmin, for the first time. We chose Citrus restaurant for a getting-to-know-you dinner, and what a fantastic time we had!
From the moment we all sat down, the conversation flowed easily. It’s always a relief when you discover that the people who raised someone special to your child are as warm and thoughtful as they are. It’s clear why Yasmin is such a wonderful person, and it made us feel even better about the strong connection she and our son share.
The main topic, naturally, revolved around our children and their future. We had a wonderfully open and productive discussion about the next steps in their relationship. We’re all in agreement and excited for them to take things at a comfortable and sensible pace. We discussed a potential two-year engagement period, allowing them plenty of time to fully prepare, plan, and enjoy this next stage before ultimately getting married.
It was truly reassuring to find that both families share the same values and vision for their journey together. This lunch at Citrus wasn’t just a meal; it was the start of two families coming together, and we left feeling excited and optimistic for everything that lies ahead for our son and Yasmin.
Here’s to a beautiful future!
