When Sonia and Aman first met in 2004, the two quickly learned
they shared much more than the same surname: Dhaliwal. Both
Sikhs from Vancouver, they had attended the same high school, grad-
uating a year apart and meeting through common friends. "I'd just
gotten out of another relationship a few months earlier and found
Sonia was someone I could always talk to," says Aman. e pair
started spending time together right away, Sonia drawn to the polite,
shy man who would later become her husband.
Over the decade that followed, both knew that marriage was
inevitable. But they decided to finish school and start their careers —
Aman as a special education assistant and Sonia as a secondary school
teacher — before they tied the knot.
