How it beganOur story

Maya and Karim

A Library Encounter, 2019

Maya and Karim first met over a shared copy of 'The Prophet' at the British Library in 2019. Their conversation about Kahlil Gibran's verses continued over coffee and lasted well into the afternoon.

They have since built a life together, celebrating both their Lebanese heritage and their London home. We would be delighted if you could join us to mark the next chapter.
