Stranded By Limo at Bachelorette Party!

A fellow bridesmaid and I were in charge of booking the limousine for our friend’s bachelorette party. After pricing several vendors, we found something on Craigslist (yes Craigslist! I know, I know! Never again!). They looked very professional; they had a website and everything! So we called the guys up and booked a white limo for [...]

Engagement Story: Aekta and Faizal

Hey guys, here’s Aekta and Faizal’s engagement story for your reading pleasure! We are just suckers for sweet romantic stories and this is definitely oh so sweet and romantic! And check out that Rock of an engagement ring!!!

Bride: Aekta Erry

Groom: Faizal Thobani

Aekta: We met in Washington DC, where I live and he had been working for about a year as a software consultant. We met at a random bar. I noticed him, but didn’t think twice, because I just thought he was another cute indian guy, no big deal. We continued to pass each other looks for a while. An hour or two into the night, he mosies down to my side and asks me what I’m drinking and smiles. I’m thinking that he is CLEARLY trying to pick me. He asks me “So…..my friends over there wanted me to ask you if you think I’m cute……so do you?”……and started to laugh…what he said was cute, (corny, but cute) and he got what he wanted, my number. He introduced himself as “Sam”, which is what he does with everyone, because he thinks the name “Faizal” will be butchered. So, being hindu, I assumed it was short for a punjabi or another hindu name. He called and we went out, later coming to find out he was Muslim. Growing up in a very close, conservative hindu/punjabi family, I knew there would be problems with my family in the long run. But we just fell in love with each other and now I just can’t see the rest of my days with anyone else. After getting to know Faizal and knowing that I am happy, my family supports us. Needless to say, we worked through it all and we are now engaged!!!!!

The wedding will take place in Dallas, TX.

(Tentatively, the Omni Mandalay, in Las Colinas)

Cute story, but man I really hate it when Muslims drink! Their religion bans drinking strictly, but a lot of Muslims just dont seem to practice.
