Little did she know that <em>she<\/em> was the one in for a surprise. Rana got into planning mode and started to coordinate with Navid\u2019s family and friends to let them know about the \u201csurprise\u201d party. Come graduation day, everything went\u00a0according to her plan. \u201cAs soon as we walked in, we immediately started taking photos,\u201d says\u00a0Rana. She explains that she and Navid were the first to pose for photos in front a graduation &#8220;Congrats!&#8221; sign. Little did she know that while she and her honey stood in front of the sign, it was being switched out for a sign that said, &#8220;Will you marry me?&#8221; As Rana recounts, &#8220;Navid&#8217;s sister\u00a0took the photo and walked over to make sure I approved of the it. As soon as I noticed the sign in the back of the picture, Navid got down on one knee. It was the greatest surprise ever,\u201d adds Rana.
