Our Wedding

Mustafa, a refugee from the perpetual sunshine of Southern California, bravely relocated to Seattle for work, naively believing it was a short chapter. He envisioned a swift return to the sunshine state. Little did he know, destiny had other plans in store... involving rain, romance, and a woman who could handle his questionable knowledge of sports. We were practically neighbors on Queen Anne, separated by a hill that apparently doubled as the Grand Canyon for romantic encounters. Yep, we lived that close, but it took Mustafa relocating an hour south to finally stumble upon Alli. Proof that sometimes, you have to go further to find what's right next door. Our 'casual' first date? Let's just say it escalated quickly. We explored, we ate (a lot), and we laughed until our cheeks hurt. It was like a rom-com montage, but with better food. Then, life decided to play a cruel joke and a few months passed before the second date, due to work and family, but we picked up like we had just paused a movie, resuming our debate about sports. (Alli's passion, Mustafa's…well, polite tolerance.) Mustafa knew Alli was the one when a 'gentle three-mile hike' turned into a six-mile marathon, and she handled it with grace and a healthy dose of playful teasing. He realized she was a funny, tough, and kind human, who was probably wondering if he was secretly an actual moose in disguise. Alli knew Mustafa was the one when his default was always sunshine and a smile. It was a genuine, radiant zest for life that was infectious. And then there was his heart, so generous it rarely ate the last French fry and pretended to be the biggest sports fan there ever was. Go Sports! But lets be honest, the golden trio of lemon, garlic, and olive oil, combined with his famous kababs, definitely sealed the deal. If you know, you know. That's when she knew. Our journey together has been a tapestry woven with new destinations, countless trails, hundreds of epic meals (a few best left unmentioned), and a quest to find the perfect restaurant. Then, on December 8th, on a beautiful hike in the Olympic National Forest, Mustafa surprised Alli with a proposal. The celebration? Naturally, it involved oysters and Korean BBQ with friends. We're nothing if not consistent. We fell in love making memories, and we feel incredibly fortunate that this continues to be the central theme of our adventure. We are beyond excited to celebrate our love, our laughter, and our slightly food-obsessed relationship with all of you on our wedding day! With love,Alli &amp; Mustafa #AlbasslehAfterAll
