It’s a story of two young hearts drawn together by their passion for STEM, but quickly discovering that they had so much more in common.

At first, they were just friends, but the deep connection they shared was undeniable. Their bond grew stronger as they navigated the challenges of college life together, providing one another with comfort, laughter, and a sense of belonging. What started as a friendship blossomed into a love that has now been celebrated in a stunning wedding that beautifully fused their two cultures and faiths.
