Abbas & Sakina's story
We’re getting married! Although this is an arranged marriage, we met a year ago and instantly clicked. Over time, we discovered how much we have in common from our hobbies and interests to our likes and dislikes - and our bond has only grown stronger since then. He is 27 years old and works in his family business, while I am 26 and work for a travel company. We would love for you to attend our wedding and celebrate this special occasion with us. It would also be a wonderful opportunity for you to experience our culture, traditions, and festivities firsthand - with the added bonus of exploring Mumbai and all the amazing sights and experiences the city has to offer.
