Our Wedding

The story of how we first met is a pretty modern love story. The very first day Hannah moved to Valley, Alabama for graduate school, she decided to download Tinder. The following day she noticed a super cute guy by the name of Malik had "super liked" her. Hannah immediately swiped right back and the rest was history. Malik lived in Columbus, Georgia at the time which was about 40 minutes from where Hannah lived. Malik was currently in graduate school as well so they decided to meet up in Columbus for their first date where they initially met in a Ross parking lot (lol) and then went through the rest of the day going to different sites and ended up spending the entire day with each other until 9pm at night. Malik &amp; Hannah went to Starbucks, the movies, Fuji steakhouse, and then ended the day sitting by the rapids towards the riverwalk in Columbus. This picture below was from our first date and the first day we met each other sitting on the rocks near the rapids. Forever grateful that Malik had super liked me and I swiped right :) We now have our little family with our furbaby Zhi and we're so excited to continue living life with each other and begin this next chapter. Cheers to the beginning of forever!

Every Saturday morning there is an outdoor market surrounding the beautiful fountain outside city hall. An amazing experience with so many homemade baked goods, food, drinks, and more! One of the brides favorite places to go when she visits her aunt with her family.
