    MANYA THOMASIAN & SASOON PETROSIAN

    December 21, 2013 in Pasadena, California

    Sasoon Petrosian and Manya Thomasian met at the most unexpected crossroads in their lives. It was November 2012 and neither one of them were supposed to attend this fundraising banquet. Due to a last minute change of plans, on both ends, they decided to attend the event. 

    That evening, she received a Facebook request from him. She accepted. Sasoon messaged her and asked her on a date in such a creative way that she could not resist. As if that was not enough of a coincidence, they ended up sitting at the same table that evening. Ironically, they did not have an opportunity to even speak until Sasoon walked Manya to her car, after the event. 

    SASOON MESSAGED HER AND ASKED HER ON A DATE IN SUCH A CREATIVE WAY THAT SHE COULD NOT RESIST.

    He wrote “I noticed you didn’t touch your dinner, so as a good council member I will take it upon myself to make it up to you and take you to dinner.” She responded while blushing, “Councilman, I will definitely allow you to fulfill your member duties.” 

    From that point forward, they spoke every day and had the most romantic winter dates. Each time he would pick her up, he would bring her roses and persimmons from his tree.

    They skied together, walked Rodeo Drive on winter nights and just enjoyed each other’s company during the holiday season. Their romantic dates during the holidays inspired the couple to have a winter wonderland one year later.
