Hi Tara,
First, thank you for this week’s news report.
Second, wow! Thank you for telling us this good news. I myself always love to hear the good news like engagement, marriage, wedding and so on.
Third, I believe love doesn’t know any border, so it’s interesting to know prince Harry is 33 years old and Meghan Markle is 36 years old. In addition, in my opinion prince Harry is nicer than Meghan Markle.
Finally, We have a proverb in Farsi language that says:
we should look at a woman from a lover’s eyes.
It means that if a boy loves a woman, we should look at the woman from the boy’s eyes, not from our eyes.
We also have a love story in Iranian tradition stories that we call it “Lili and Majnon love story”. Majnon means a crazy person in English language. Majnon has become crazy because of Lili ‘s love and loves lili very much. Some people blame him and tell him Lili isn’t beautiful, why do you love her so much? Are you a crazy for this love?
Majnon says:
You should look at her from my eyes.Best wishes and have a great weekend in nice Canada,
