Amir and Maheen were informally introduced by one of  Maheen’s distant relatives. Despite the distance, (Amir lived in Islamabad, Pakistan and Maheen lived in L.A.) they grew close through phone conversations and emails. After five months of communication, Maheen and her parents finally took a trip to Islamabad to meet Amir and his family in person. The connection was instantaneous and the couple were engaged a week after Maheen and her family landed in Pakistan.  After 19 long months, Amir finally arrived in the U.S. and the couple finally tied the knot on July 5th, 2009.
