We're Getting Married!

They say fate brings two people together, being at the right place, at the right time. Well that could not be more true when it comes to Omar and Talin's story. It was a hot summer night in Cario, Egypt 2003 - Omar on his yearly trip with his parents, and Talin visting for the first time with her older cousins Rania and Randa. Now you see, this night would change their lives they just didn’t know it yet. In typical Arab fashion there was a dinner party (we've all been to them, lots of people, lots of food, lots of very loud conversations) and this is where Omar and Talin would meet, 6143 miles away from their home state. Talin was 15, Omar was 17 and it was instant puppy love. To their dismay, summer vacation would come to end soon and they would go home to North Carolina. They did their best to stay in touch over the years but it proved difficult. Until one day in 2018 when Talin sent a (very brave) message to Omar in a effort to reconnect where he simply replied with an "Oh okay" in typical Omar fashion. Life had taken Omar to Colorado where as Talin was still living in NC, but they were determined to make things work this time. They were not going to let anything stop them from being together after all these years, not even 9 states and 1655 miles. It was always you, babe.
