A day to remember

Some love stories are written in the stars, and ours began on a cold winter’s day in 2022, with a simple walk that brought two lives together. It was a fleeting moment—Ashley and Ahmed, two strangers connected only by the leashes in their hands and the crisp winter air. But even in that quiet encounter, there was a spark.   It wasn’t until the following year, on a February day wrapped in the warmth of possibility, that everything fell into place. Underneath a sky that seemed to know something we didn’t yet, our conversation unfolded with ease, laughter, and a sense of belonging. On February 14, 2023, Ashley’s heart whispered the truth: Ahmed was the person she had been waiting for.   As time passed, our journey became something extraordinary. Together, we explored not only the depths of love but also the beauty of faith. Ahmed’s principles of Islam opened Ashley’s heart to its elegance and wisdom, enriching our lives with purpose and guiding us toward a shared vision of marriage. Each moment we’ve shared has been a reminder of the sacred bond we’re creating—a partnership built on patience, trust, and the grace of Allah’s guidance.   And, of course, there’s Zizou, the mischievous pup who had his own plans when Ashley was a recurring face (a playful bite to seal the deal). What began with a little chaos has turned into a beautiful harmony, of humor and joy with Zizou adding his unique charm to our love story.   Our journey to this moment has been filled with magic, faith, and a love that feels timeless. We are so grateful for the path that has brought us together, and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter of our story with you in 2025—a celebration of love, family, and the beauty of life’s most elegant surprises.
