How it beganOur story

Ayesha and Bilal

A chance meeting in Didsbury (2021)

Ayesha and Bilal first crossed paths while volunteering at a local community food bank in Didsbury, bonding over shared values and a love of chai.

Their friendship grew quietly through coffee meetings and long walks along the Bridgewater Canal before Bilal formally asked for Ayesha's hand in marriage.

We warmly invite you to celebrate their union and share in their joy.

We would love to have children with us, though the evening events after 9pm are best suited to adults.
