It all started on a cold and windy Saturday morning, whilst Anam was busy saving lives on a night shift, she woke up to a message from Farhaan. After one meeting, four bao buns and eight days of talking, they decided to tie the knot!

During the first lockdown, in 2020, Anam's sister showed her a cooking page on Instagram, prompting her to follow a recipe from there. Little did Anam know, 4 years later she’d be marrying the man behind that very food page!

Through talking and getting to know eachother, both Anam and Farhaan learnt of the many mutual connections they already had. There were several different ways they might have met each other sooner, but this was always the way it was meant to be. It was a single message that tied all those relations together, with both Anam and Farhaan at the centre.

Alas, you came and happiness unfurled

Another face on this Earth, then you became my world

From strangers to companions as ordained by His decree

The reunion of two souls, as was always meant to be

Because before there ever was a sea and sky,

Allah placed your name next to mine

-Anam Hussain-
