Fareena & Yusuf’s Love Story
Fareena and Yusuf’s story started in New York City in May 2019. What was supposed to be a simple coffee date turned into a 12-hour adventure—complete with dinner, a movie, and getting lost on the subway.
On his way home that night, Yusuf knew he wanted to be with Fareena, even though she lived 9 hours away in North Carolina. Three years later, they are celebrating their anniversary by getting married on the exact day they met!
