This Is The One
“My dress was designed by Ysa Makino and I knew it was the one because I could not stop thinking about it after I tried it on,” said the bride. “I debated between a mermaid and ballgown and eventually decided that there was probably only one time in my life that I could get away with a beaded ballgown and I could always wear a beautiful mermaid dress on another day.”

Baby, You’re The One
“Two weeks after we started dating, I was driving on the highway in New Jersey where I lived and hit a deer. I was fine physically but emotionally shaken up by the accident. As soon as I told him what happened, he got in his car and drove 4 hours to me (he was living in Maryland). That’s not something a lot of guys would do and I knew at that point he was the one.”

Sure Thing
“When I was growing up my mom told me to look for two qualities in a husband: God-fearing and responsible. Habeeb is all of that and more,” said the bride of why she said “yes” to her groom. “His word is his honor and I can trust him with anything. We also laugh a lot together, he’s so much fun to be around.”
