R osa Beyat and Ali Mazinani met on February 7, 2009 through mutual friends at a dinner party. Ali was about to leave, but once he and Rosa noticed each other, he decided to stay and it became obvious that
they couldn’t take their eyes off one another. He finally went up to her and they hit it off right away. The night ended too soon, but it wasn’t long after that Ali asked Rosa out on a date. “We ended up having our first date on Valentine’s Day and it was only the start of many other dates,” shares Rosa. Seven years later, Ali was in the midst of organizing an epic proposal to take place on the day before Rosa’s birthday. In the days prior, Ali told Rosa that he had something special planned for her, revealing only that she needed to be ready on time and wear something warm. When the day came, Ali called Rosa and asked her to be ready even sooner than he’d originally said, but didn’t provide further explanation. Ali drove them to the secret destination and upon their arrival, Rosa saw a helicopter and realized Ali was taking her on a romantic helicopter ride. They boarded the aircraft and flew to a scenic lake, where they got out to walk around and take in the natural surroundings. Just as Rosa turned to comment on how beautiful it was, she saw Ali down on one knee. “It was the most special, breathtaking moment of my life,” recalls the bride. Turns out, the reason Ali told Rosa to be ready earlier was that the weather had taken a turn, and they needed to get to the helicopter before it got worse in order to ensure Ali’s dream proposal went off without a hitch!
The wedding took place on August 18, 2017 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Haleh Tafteh of details by haleh provided full-service planning and design assistance.
