The Lady In His Life
“My wife has the biggest heart – she’s one of those people who cries if she sees someone else crying,” said the groom of his bride. “She is a nourisher and a great cook. She is independent and ambitious.”
03
Happy Feelings
We love a groom who looks his happiest on the biggest day in his life!
04
Glad I’ve Got My Girls
“Being a bride, it was an emotional roller coaster but I am grateful that I had a strong support system throughout the process,” said Halima.
05
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.”
06
Good Vibes
“Habeeb is the life of the party, he is wise and gives great advice, he is patient, he is thoughtful, he is supportive but honest,” said the bride of her groom.

When I Met You
“When we met Halima, I was 26 and never expected to find my wife so early in life. I was not looking for a serious relationship but she is not the type of girl that you can let go.”
11
You Are Very Special
“The second night that we talked on the phone, she asked me if I prayed today. I was surprised by the question but it stuck with me. I wanted my wife to be a God-fearing woman who would push me to be better in all aspects and I saw that in Halima.”

You Mean The World To Me
“She makes me want to be a better man and believes in my dreams,” said Habeeb of what he loves most about Halima.
17
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.”
18
A Vision Of Love
Halima is a vision!
19
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.”
20
You’re The Best Part
“He balances me in every way and I’m so grateful that I found him,” said Halima of Habeeb. “He keeps me laughing, at the end of the day we truly enjoy each other as friends.”
