Photograph: Edward J GowerPhotograph: Edward J Gowerhen Shehara left her teaching job in San Francisco in 2001 she decided to take the summer off while she figured out her future. “I was planning to go back to studying but I wanted some time away first,” she says. In July, she travelled to London with her family for a reunion. “My whole family was going to be there. My sister went out first and I flew later.
“Tarique basically told me he had met this girl and wanted me to be his wingman,” says Ed. When he got there, Ed found himself sitting next to Sheana. “She didn’t like that because she wanted to be near Tarique,” laughs Shehara. “She made me switch seats by standing up and loudly shouting to Ed: ‘You need to speak to my sister.’”
“He was so funny, he made me laugh the whole time,” says Shehara. “I got to see him with his family as well and I saw how much they valued each other.” Ed says it was the ultimate adventure. The trip sealed their relationship and they knew they wanted to find a way to be together.
