Why this matters to me

People ask me why I care so much about this. The truth is, I'm only doing for you what life once did for me.

Nearly forty years ago, I came from Brazil to study, and I stayed in a hotel where a young man was working in reception. I was a simple Christian girl raised on the beaches of Brazil, and somehow I fell for a practicing Muslim man from Pakistan. I didn't think it made any sense, so I went home to my family and tried to leave it there.

He wasn't having that. He followed me across the world and turned up on my doorstep.

There were two cultures to bridge, and plenty that wasn't easy for either of us. But we did the work, together, and nearly forty years later he's still beside me.

Why we'd work well together

I'm not a matchmaker who learned this from a course. I do this because I genuinely care, and because Islam teaches that helping two people marry is one of the most rewarding things you can do. That's not a slogan for me, it's the whole reason I'm still doing this ten years on.

I take the time to actually get to know you. Not a form you fill in once and forget, not a five minute chat before I move on to the next person. Real conversations, more than once, until I understand what you're actually looking for, not just what you think you should say you want.

That's why my events aren't just a room full of strangers hoping for the best. When I bring people together, I'm thinking about who genuinely fits, in age, in values, in what stage of life they're at. I'd rather introduce you to two people who make sense than twenty who don't.

It started at home

My marriage gave me my family, my faith, and my life's work. Both of my children found their match through me, and watching them build their own homes is the greatest thing I've done. Once you've seen what the right marriage can do for a person, you can't help wanting it for everyone else too.
