Our Wedding

The couple first met April 2015 during their second year of college and made their relationship official May 20, 2015. On January 26, 2021 they decided to start growing their family by adopting their beautiful puppy, Topaz. A little beast to the outside world, but angel to them. Fast forward to May 22, 2024, the couple ventured to Tokyo, Japan to celebrate their 9 year anniversary. On that faithful day, Nasir, to Fernandas surprise, had gotten down on one knee and asked for her hand in marriage at the Tokyo Skytree overlooking all of Tokyo. The two are now planning their happily ever after and cant wait to continue growing their little family.
