We met in Arabic class in 2013 during our Freshman and Junior years of college at UNC. Patrick's attempts to be paired as Cyara's language partner finally panned out, and the rest was history. Since then we've lived in 3 different states, traveled together to many countries, and driven across the US more times than we remember. One of the main themes in our relationship has always been the countless weekend adventures. From backpacking and camping trips on the coast, desert, and mountains to winery tours in Santa Barbara and spontaneous roadtrips to Mexico. In 2020 we added Mookie as our weekend adventure pal, and he has joined us on many trips since. Adventure weekends will always be our thing, and in June 2023, it's getting an upgrade to wedding weekend! We're so thankful for each of you for being a part of our adventure so far and hope you can join us in the fun festivities we've planned. A presto!
