Saturday · September Twelfth · Two Thousand Twenty-Six
The Royal Garden — Polwel Carnation · Uttara, Dhaka
ScrollIt’s happening — and you’re the reason it will feel like home.
We met over a borrowed table at a crowded café in Dhanmondi, and seven years later we are still choosing that table, that marine drive to Teknaf, that foggy morning in a Sylhet tea garden — choosing each other. We would be honoured to have you beside us on Saturday, the twelfth of September, two thousand twenty-six, as we do it properly at last: rings, vows, and all of our favourite people in one garden.

Ten days, one borrowed car, and the whole marine drive from Cox's Bazar to Teknaf. Somewhere past Inani it stopped being a trip and started being a life.
A winter evening at a tea-garden resort in Sreemangal, fog rolling down the slopes, candles lit. Zayan asked. Mahira said yes before he could finish the sentence.
Seven years, three apartments, one very opinionated cat. Now: all of you, under the string lights, as the next chapter begins.
…until we say “I do”
