A Magical Garden Wedding in East Brunswick, NJ

Nadya and Ramin’s love story began around the holiday season in 2015. At the time, Nadya’s best friend from high school and Ramin’s high school best friend were dating each other and were keen on playing matchmaker. What started as an innocent group meetup at a Starbucks in Times Square, ended up being the beginning of something truly special.

Briefly tell us about your wedding experience and how the both of you felt on your big day. It was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We always knew that we had good people in our corner, but to see everything come together after months and months of planning was a grand sight to see. Every single one of our vendors went absolutely above and beyond to make sure everything went on without a hitch. We couldn’t have dreamt up a more perfect day. Our only regret is that it went by so fast!

Wedding song, explain choice for song: Ramin picked “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys for us. It seemed so obvious to me that this song would represent our relationship. All material things aside, the only thing I need in my life to move forward on the right path is the right partner. For me, Nadya is the ideal person to spend the rest of my life with. She’s an amazing, sweet, ambitious, and supportive woman. Money and things come and go, so I will always choose Nadya, who provides more for me than the rest of the world could.

What are you most looking forward to as a married couple? The journey and seeing how we continue to intertwine our lives. From purchasing our forever home and traveling the world to having some kiddos of our own – there are so many more adventures and we couldn’t be more excited to start writing those chapters together.
