Because I’m a Pakistani-Muslim American girl, dating before marriage—and PDA—are taboo. I wasn’t willing to risk the wrath of society, so my husband & I more or less kept our relationship low-key in the beginning. We have very few pictures together pre-engagement.
Once we got engaged, however, we got the photo shoot of our dreams:
The Engagement Day
Engagement Photo Shoot Day. It was at a vintage, jet-setter themed photo shoot with airplanes and cars at a historic airport terminal.
We also go this photo a few days before our wedding:
Here are our photos of the wedding itself:
The Mendhi Day
The Shaadi/Wedding Day
The Honeymoon at Grand Cayman Islands—swimming with stingrays
At this point, we didn’t care how much PDA we showed. We were married!
And since then…
My Sister’s Wedding Day
Our Pregnancy Photo Shoot
And finally, a little family photo shoot with our baby girl…
And yes, we packed it with PDA
