Bismillah

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

"And among His signs is this: He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you might find tranquility in them, and He placed between you love and mercy. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect."

Before the vow

A thread of moments

Every union has a road that leads to it. Here is a little of theirs.

  1. Karim and Nour sharing a quiet moment at a countryside picnic.
    First

    Where it began

    A warm bread, and a long afternoon neither of them was in a hurry to end.

  2. Karim and Nour close together at a lively bar, warm light and neon behind them.
    Second

    Old streets, new laughter

    Beirut's evenings, borrowed jackets, and a routine forming without either of them noticing.

  3. Karim and Nour taking a selfie together on a mountain trail in Lebanon.
    Third

    Further together

    New roads, new views, and the quiet discovery that home was less a place than a person.

  4. Karim kneeling to propose to Nour in a sunlit garden.
    Fourth

    A quiet promise

    One knee, one question, and an answer he already knew — he asked anyway.

  5. Karim and Nour posing together at their engagement celebration, surrounded by white florals.
    Fifth

    Saying yes

    Families gathered, sweets were passed around, and the news travelled faster than either of them expected.
