Welcome Do

Get ready for a ton of puns! Our last name is pronounced "dough" or "doe" which is how we will be using it throughout the wedding and probably our lives. We are the farthest thing from serious so please have fun finding them all.... Do. :)

It all started in a coffee shop in 2011. Straight out of a movie, just kidding it's not that romantic. Story goes: Aliya got a job at a coffee shop in Newport Beach thanks to her friend Tiffany (bridesmaid). Aliya's co-worker, Jackie (groomswoman) was best friends with Mike. Mike being the freeloader he is, would often visit Jackie to get free coffee and pastries. Jackie introduced Mike to Aliya and nothing happened haha. As the months went on, Mike and Aliya became friends but still there wasn't any interest on either end. Long story short, Jackie eventually tried to get them together and put the idea in Aliya's head. After a little trial and error and push from their friends (Kevin & AJ: Best Men), Aliya & Mike began dating in May 2012, and to their surprise it flourished into a lifelong relationship.
