Our Wedding

Elijah first noticed Nadia at Fellowship of Christian Athletes, where she was diligently taking notes during Bible study. Something in his heart nudged him to get to know her. A few days later, during exam week, he finally gathered the courage to approach her in the library, and from that conversation their story began. After Christmas break, Elijah drove 11 hours from Tennessee just to take Nadia on their first date. That evening was filled with endless conversation, laughter, and a sense of peace that only God can give. From that day forward, they knew this was the beginning of something extraordinary. Through prayer, faith, and God’s guidance, their relationship has continued to grow. What started with a simple step of courage and a long drive has now led to a love rooted in Christ—a love they are excited to celebrate as they begin their marriage journey together.

Maid of Honors

Joy Atiyeh and Nadia have been inseparable since kindergarten. They grew up side by side, sharing every stage of life—from the awkward moments to the milestones. Through it all, they’ve created countless fun, happy, and cherished memories together. To Nadia, Joy isn’t just a best friend—she’s a sister, someone she couldn’t imagine her life without.

Ever since Kenzie moved from Georgia to Vienna, she and Nadia have been the closest of friends. Kenzie has been more than just a best friend—she’s been someone Nadia can always count on, especially when it matters most. Together they’ve shared countless fun memories, and over time, Kenzie has become like a sister to Nadia—an irreplaceable part of her life.

Charis has been such an inspiration and has played a big role in helping Nadia reconnect with her faith. They first met during Plebe Summer as roommates and have been inseparable ever since. Charis has been a true blessing in Nadia’s life—always encouraging her, supporting her, and pushing her to become the best version of herself.

Best Man

Jeremiah was chosen as the best man because he has always been more than just an older brother, he’s been a role model and a best friend. Throughout every stage of life, he’s been the person Elijah could turn to for honest advice, encouragement, and perspective. His presence, loyalty, and example have shaped Elijah into the man he is today.

"As I stand here preparing to begin this new chapter, I carry my little brother Joseph in my heart. Though he is no longer with us in the flesh, I know without a doubt that he is present in spirit rejoicing in Heaven and watching over us with Jesus. He is my honorary groomsman, because his life, his love, and his laughter left a mark that time can’t erase. I thank God for the years we had together and trust in His promise and steadfastness that we will be reunited again. Until then, Joseph walks with me, not just today, but always." -Elijah
