We met at work on the very day I (Sidra) moved to Chicago. I was buzzing on my way in, sensing it was going to be a special day. Lo and behold, Samad said hello to me in the elevator. The rest is history. Together we never let our culture differences stand in our way. That’s why we’re so thrilled to invite you to celebrate a love that has grown stronger through it all — and to share in the beautiful blend of two cultures coming together.
