They were first friends at work.  Ian, who is a quiet, contemplative kind of guy, was captivated by Uzma's bubbly and kind personality.  Her sweet demeanour, always paired with a huge beautiful smile, is one of her contagious assets.  She makes friends in an instance and Ian couldn't help but be one of them for the longest time.  Their friendship blossomed into a deeper, more meaningful relationship that, years later, ended up with an engagement ring on her finger.
