Saim and Candice first crossed paths after school at a Chipotle outing, thanks to a mutual friend’s invitation. Although they had known of each other, this was the day they truly met — marked by Saim’s first memory of Candice rolling down the manual window of her Chevy Cobalt. After sharing a laugh, they instantly clicked and quickly became close friends. Over time, that friendship grew into a love that defied all odds.

On May 17, 2025, they tied the knot in an intimate mosque ceremony with their parents as witnesses. They are overjoyed to celebrate their love again, this time surrounded by their extended family and friends.
