They are cute together, today more than ever, and their union produced two wonderful children and two precious grand-children. All their family is filled with love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This being said, Bambi refuses to go to sleep soon without highlighting this special day before its end in Atlantic Canada; it is already &#8220;tomorrow&#8221; in Beirut. Along with the two songs featured below, Bambi who sends her warm wishes to Amale and Tanios cannot help not to wonder the following: Did Tanios express his love to his charming wife with one of his beautiful Arabic love poems?   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless, &#8220;mabrouk&#8221;\/congratulations to Beirut&#8217;s great lovers :)! May God keep blessing their love while protecting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude this post, many thanks to &#8220;Amto&#8221; Amale and &#8220;Amo&#8221; Tanios for who they are: a source of endless love and of inspiration to everyone, especially to Bambi who is fond of their humanity \u2764\ufe0f \u2764\ufe0f! Louis joins her in sending them his best wishes from across the miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long live the desire to love everywhere and especially in Lebanon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Mabrouk - Live \u0631\u0627\u0645\u064a \u0639\u064a\u0627\u0634  - \u0645\u0628\u0631\u0648\u0643 - \u062a\u0648\u0632\u064a\u0639 \u062c\u062f\u064a\u062f\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qkeMh2nEFgI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Patrick Fiori, H\u00e9l\u00e8ne S\u00e9gara, Garou, Julie Zenatti et Daniel Levi L&#039;envie d&#039;aimer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_8HTeF0-IOE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/heart.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/heart.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/heart-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there anything more beautiful than love?
