We are so excited to share this special moment with you all. We are getting married September 24, 2022 in Santorini, Greece. Please be patient with us - as more pieces of the puzzle fall into place, we will be updating this site with further details around the time of the wedding and events! We can not wait to celebrate with all of you! Love, Amina and Taylor
It was a beautiful summer night in Chicago....Amina had just returned from working for a year in New York. Although exhausted from the recent move she was at a friend's house attending a party. There was probably 10 or 20 people at the party and she knew everyone of them well. While getting ready to leave the party she spotted a gentleman in the corner whom she didn't know. Being the person she is, she approached him and inquired about who he was (Taylor tells this part of the story differently). They immediately became fast friends hanging out every day. As everyone who knew them predicted within a year they started dating.
January 17, 2020 Amina and Taylor woke up at the crack of Dawn (literally) for a private tour of the Vatican. As they roamed the halls mesmerized by the beauty and history they eventually reached St. Peter's Square....and it was the blessing of the animals; which meant there were, dogs, cows, horses, goats, and more waiting to be blessed...and if you know anything about Amina, you know that she is obsessed with all animals, so she was in literal heaven. So Amina was zooming around trying to speak to people in Italian (which ended up just being her gesturing to pet their animals), while Taylor was trying desperately to get her to pose in front of the oldest obelisk in the world, which is located directly in front of St. Peters Cathedral. Side Story: Amina is obsessed with Egypt and Egyptian culture, and when she was younger would say that's where she wanted to get engaged and or married. Taylor finally got Amina's attention and got her to stand in front of the Obelisk for a photo. Amina was distracted by a puppy behind her, and getting more and more confused as to why they had to take a photo at that exact moment. Before, she could completely comprehend exactly what was happening she turned around and Taylor had gotten down on one knee...she obviously said yes....and that ladies and gentlemen is why your on this page today.
