Nusrat & Rahim

How it beganOur story

A meeting in Hampstead (2023)

Nusrat and Rahim first crossed paths at a community book club in Hampstead, where a shared love of poetry quickly turned into long walks along the canal.

After months of getting to know one another, their families came together to bless their union with warmth and joy.

We are delighted to invite you to celebrate their marriage with love, laughter, and plenty of delicious food.
