Occupations: Elizabeth is the president of her own fragrance company and Karim owns his own automotive engineering company.
How they met: “We met in grad school. Strangely enough, we spent four years doing our Bachelors in the same university without ever crossing paths, and it was only when fate put our offices on the same floor in grad school that we finally met in the elevator getting off at the same floor.”
Fave date: On their first date, Karim took Elizabeth to a Chinese restaurant in Montreal that didn’t use MSG.

What attracted him to her: “Her stunning beauty and charismatic personality.”
Engagement story: Karim took Elizabeth on a surprise winter trip to Mt. Tremblant. In the evening they went for a walk in the snow. They stopped to admire a lake that was frozen and still and the snow had just started to fall when Karim proposed.
