Compromise paves path to future for Rainbow Ng, Mohammed Khan
Ethnic and cultural differences no barrier to couple who cherish their core values
Rainbow Ng is a Hongkonger born and bred, while Mohammed Naveed Khan is of Pakistani descent. Although they are from different cultural backgrounds, their willingness to compromise has led to a lasting relationship.
Rainbow, a personal assistant, and Naveed, who works for an airline, wed last month in a Pakistani ceremony at Duetto, an Indian-Italian restaurant in Wan Chai, celebrating with 250 friends and relatives. They will host a Chinese banquet in July.
The couple were introduced by a colleague three years ago when they were working for the same airline.
"He seemed really nice, but I was a little nervous when I first met him because he was quite senior at work," Rainbow said.
It took three months before they realised there was more than friendship between them.
"I was on holiday overseas with my family and my mother fell ill. Naveed was really helpful, sending me advice by text message," Rainbow said. "We really missed each other."
