Our story

Six years, three chapters

2019

A dinner in Jabal Amman

Friends sat them next to each other on purpose. They talked until the restaurant started stacking the chairs, and agreed to meet again the next week.

The long way to Wadi Rum

A borrowed car, one wrong turn and a sky full of stars. Somewhere between the two, Zaid knew.

Under the olive tree

He asked in her grandmother's garden in Fuheis, with the whole family pretending not to watch from the kitchen window. She said yes before he finished.

We've held rooms at a hotel in Abdoun, fifteen minutes away. Ask us for the booking code when you reply.

Getting there

A shuttle leaves the hotel at 3:15 pm and comes back at midnight, so nobody has to drive.

Questions

Good to know

Can I bring a plus-one?

Your invitation shows how many seats we've saved for you. If you'd like to bring someone, just ask us and we'll do our best.

Are children welcome?

We love your little ones. The wedding evening is for adults, apart from family; the henna night and the brunch are for everyone.

Will the ceremony be unplugged?

Yes. Please keep phones away during the ceremony; our photographer will share everything with you afterwards.

What about gifts?

Your presence is the gift. If you'd like to give something, there will be a wishing box at the reception.

What if it rains?

The ceremony moves under the covered terrace, just a few steps away. Everything else stays the same.

Is there parking?

Valet parking starts at half past three. If you're staying at the hotel, take the shuttle and enjoy the evening.
