A little bit of Pakistan 🇵🇰 meets USA🇺🇸!

Marigrace and Usman met in NYC on the worst first date of all time lol! They went to get dinner, got lost on the subway, and by the time they got to the restaurant, they were out of the lamb! But, they talked for 5 hours about everything from global politics to taxi cabs! After that date Marigrace knew he was the one! I love the way they can turn anything into an adventure and they make each other laugh! They are always playing jokes!

Usman proposed at the Don CeSar, on NYE in 2019. Marigrace’s family was there and he was so nervous! Marigrace love’s Usman’s kindness and ability to calm her down. He’s so patient, and always keeps her from going too far into “crazy town” lol. Usman loves her confidence, and ability to adapt to situations and make them fun and easy.

Together they enjoy doing anything adventurous. They will always take a fun outdoor activity! MG taught Usman how to swim so that they could go on animal adventures that involved swimming. They also love exploring the city together and finding our hidden spots!

Their wedding was relaxed and casual. Like this sweet couple, it was fun and easy! All of their guests were able to let loose and groove to the Desi music under their favorite backdrop in the world…Pass-A-Grille Beach! Marigrace’s grandparents live right down the street and she spent every school vacation at the Don CeSar since she was one year old! Their Boho chic, wedding had the perfect touch of Desi culture. The evening was comfortable, relaxed, fun and sentimental.

The beach was the theme. They love this beach and it means so much to Marigrace especially, having grown up coming there since she was a kid.

They are the first non-arranged marriage in Usman’s family, ever! They included some fun cultural mixing. All of the groomsmen wore Pakistani clothing and all of the bridesmaids wore American clothing. When the bride walked down the aisle, the vows in the ceremony, and the entrance in the Desi clothes for the bride for the reception were a few of the great highlights of the day!

They were not really obsessed with the details. They love the beach, and each other. And and that was their favorite part, having each other, and all of the people that they love together in their favorite place.
