You're invited!

Our friendship started as kids, but our romance sparked as adults. As adolescents, we reunited at a casual event hosted by a mutual friend. A light conversation led to phone calls and constant face-to-face interaction. From driving lessons, to talks about life, our bond became inseparable. As cliche as it sounds, it was love at first sight.

After 3 years of dating, we welcomed our first child. Ziairah was born November 29, 2018 at University Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. With a charming heart like her mother's, Ziairah arrived a spitting image of her father. Our baby girl is a true symbol of our love!

It was a normal evening at home. Aaron arrived with dinner late as Shakoora irritatedly prepared for work. Thrown off thinking that Aaron was retrieving an item from the floor, Shakoora turned to a surprise engagement ring in Aaron's hand. Aaron: "Will you make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife?" Shakoora: "YES!"
