Ibraheem was my very first roommate when I moved out on my own and he has been a very close friend for the past few years. He introduced me to coding, sushi, anime, Top Gear, Grey’s Anatomy, House, Firefly, and a host of other entertaining things. When we first lived together, none of us really had the money to go out and buy a TV or to pay for cable. So, it was his job to find ways to stream all this media for free on our little monitors. He would also fix things. He just has a way of touching things – they just start to work. So, after watching Vanilla Sky, we named him Tech Support.

He got engaged a week before me… which was great. He got married two months before me… which was wonderful. He would watch episodes of 24 before me (even after we had a pact to watch it together – and this is when 24 used to be good)… not cool, at all.

Great friends are mirrors as they show you who you were, how far you have come, and where you have to go. They keep you honest in the hardest of times and hold you accountable to be the best. Ibraheem has been a great friend. As I get to know Sana more and as I see both of them together, it is easy for me to realize that these two are meant for each other. They truly are two wonderful people.

There are a lot of pictures, so here are some key moments from the first day of the wedding:
