We’re getting married!

For Dorna and Navid, this wasn’t a chance meeting, it was destiny simply taking its time. Their story is a beautiful, full circle romance that began when they were just kids, as their families were friends. Dorna will happily tell you she had a crush on Navid from the very beginning! As they grew up life took them on separate paths, but the universe clearly had other plans. Years passed until one day Dorna was at Navid’s uncle’s house. Navid arrived after work and came into the backyard where Dorna was sitting with his cousin. He broke into a really big smile, but then was so shocked to see her that he immediately ran back inside! A moment later his dad came out, saw Dorna, started laughing and giggling, and also went inside. Navid later confessed that he was so shy and surprised, he didn't know what to do but flee. Not long after a summer pool party bought them back together. The spark was immediate and undeniable, picking up right where that childhood crush left off. Though they had known each other forever, their first date felt like a mix of new excitement and old comfort. They knew how quickly they were falling, but because their families knew each other, they decided to keep their relationship a little secret for a while. The secret didn’t last long at all! It all came to a head at Navid’s uncle’s next party. They showed up separately, but as the evening went on, they just couldn’t be kept away from each other. In a perfect unforgettable moment, Navid gave Dorna a kiss, and everyone saw! Their secret was out, much to the joy of their families. Shortly after, Navid asked Dorna to be his girlfriend, and the first “I love you” quickly followed. Years later, Navid brought Dorna to their hidden beach spot, the special place where they would always go to watch the sunset. It was here, at a place that already held so many memories, that he planned the ultimate surprise. Navid set everything up himself: the lighting, the candles, and a camera to capture the moment. Dorna had a feeling something big was about to happen when he asked her to close her eyes, but nothing prepares you for the reality. When she turned around and opened her eyes, there was Navid, the man she’s loved for ages, on one knee, ready to ask the biggest question of their lives. Of course she said YES! From childhood crush to inseparable couple, Dorna and Navid are thrilled to finally celebrate their happily ever after with all of you.
