From the bride: May 10, 2014, my sister celebrated her birthday alongside, friends, family, and her boyfriend at the time, Ivan. It was getting late, and I had a 3 year old boy at the time, so it was getting closer to bed time. Meanwhile, A few of Ivan’s friend showed up, (mind you I did not pay attention to anyone). Anyways, We all wanted to keep the party going so the younger crowd went to Vivé. I danced all night, by myself, and after that ate approximately half a large pizza (if not more). He drove my car home with 7 of us in the car, and of course I got so sick I needed to vomit. Yes, Ab watched all of this happen as well. Time passed by, I graduated college, and well, I needed a job. Ivan had the genius idea of having me call his friend for help with a possible job at AT&T! Haha! He prepped me a little before my interview and said, “let’s grab some lunch after”; super casual. But after my interview he couldn’t leave work but was nice enough to invite me to his office (again, super casual). I took some in n out, and of course devoured another meal in front of him (I was hungry)! He kept the conversation going and finally asked me on a date for the next day! He was handsome and funny, so why not?! It was a group setting, and all went really well and he decided to take me to a hookah lounge on our own after, (typical Arab 🙄). At this point the date was going sooo good, but he would not kiss me! So yes, I made the first move, it was okay... Just kidding, it was amazing! We dated, for many, many, many months. We had some time apart, but I guess he just couldn’t stay away!! 😂 2 homes, Married, 2 kids, 2 dogs later we finally are getting the opportunity to celebrate the life we are building together, and we can’t wait for all of you to celebrate with us! ♥️ Love, Jocelyn
