After years of searching and moving across states, fate had its own plans for us.

Amir reached out to Sujood, asking her to meet for coffee to get to know each other—with marriage in mind. Her response? "I love coffee." And just like that, a simple cup of coffee turned into the beginning of something so much more.

Sujood had temporarily moved to Chicago for her residency, thinking it was just another stop along the way. Little did she know, life—and love—had other plans, making her stay in Chicago permanent in more ways than one.

Now, we’re so excited to begin this new chapter together, surrounded by our closest family and friends.

Your presence is our favorite present — but if you’d like to share a little love the traditional way, we’ve set up an inqoot (cash gift fund)!
