We asked Sue "What has changed after 23 years of marriage"? She is an industrial designer and licensed interior designer, but Sue finds it amazing that Amir has taken up Tango and considers it a major breakthrough for both of them. "I have the same feelings for my wife that I had on the first day that I met her," said Amir, an internal medicine physician. When asked the same question Sue said "At this point in our marriage I love him even more than when we first met," and to stress those emotions further Sue, acknowledges that she gets a little jealous when her husband (that everyone says is a dead ringer for the handsome movie star Omar Sharif) dances with someone else.

It took just two weeks after meeting Sue for Amir to tell her, "I really like you -- can we get married?" He had never proposed to anyone before, but knowing that Sue had just turned down his cousin's proposal, he knew there was no time to waste. Both Sue and Amir are originally from Baghdad. The minute he met her at her sister's house here in Chicago, he knew she was the one.

Sue, a student at the University of Illinois, went on a couple of dates with him and also found that the "chemistry" was immediate; she knew it the minute she met him. Amir impressed her by teaching her how to make bread; however the bread burned because they were a little distracted by each other & forgot all about the cooking lesson. It was when she was returning from an exam that Amir popped the question. They were engaged on February 14th, St Valentine's Day and married on April 21st.

Having just finished medical school, Amir was in The Windy City in search of a job; instead of a job, he found a wife & the love of his life.
What a Tango Relationship!
