Meet our wedding party of family and friends!

Fasiha

Mother of the Bride

To the best, the kindest, the smartest, strongest, most patient, understanding and beautiful woman I know! If I can be half the woman you are, I know I did something right. Thank you for everything you have taught me mom, and for all of your support my whole life. I hope I have made you proud in every way. Cannot wait to give back to you everything you have sacrificed for me and our family. When they handed out parents, I got the best pick with you! Love you mom.

Daud

In Loving Memory of the Father of the Bride

To my best friend, the smartest, most resilient, wisest, kind hearted and determined person I know. To my biggest supporter, the one who made me smile and laugh the hardest, the first man I ever loved, and the person in my life that knew me the most. You are missed dearly everyday and the absence of your presence will be felt the most on October 12th. Thank you for being the father you were to me. I hope you are at peace and are proud of the person I have become because of you and mom's unconditional love, guidance and support. It was a privilege to be your daughter and an honor to be raised by you. Any success that I have ever achieved in my life was a direct reflection of you and mom's parenting in me. Even though you will not physically be there to walk me down the aisle, I know you will have the best seat in the house. Thinking of you always. This one's for you dad! Love you.

Sonja

Mother of the Groom

Mom, your love has been the soft place I’ve always landed. You’ve shown me what true kindness, patience, and resilience look like. From every late-night talk to every warm hug, your presence has been my anchor. You’ve taught me how to love with my whole heart, how to care deeply, and how to never give up — even when things feel impossible. You’ve made our home feel like the safest place on earth, and I will forever be grateful for the way you love.

Bosko

Father of the Groom

Dad, you are my role model and my rock. You’ve led by example, showing me the meaning of hard work, humility, and integrity. You’ve taught me to stand tall in the face of challenges and to believe in myself, even when the path wasn’t clear. You never stopped pushing me to grow, but always with so much pride and trust in who I was becoming. You’ve shaped me into a man I hope you’re proud of — and I’ll carry your lessons with me forever.
