How We Met: Afreen & Haseeb
Our story began on Instagram, where Haseeb slid into my DMs, hoping to spark a connection. I was hesitant and completely ignored him, which led to his frustration and eventual decision to block me for a month. However, destiny had other plans. Through mutual family friends, our families arranged a meeting, and that evening, Haseeb unblocked me. We started talking through messages and calls, discovering a deep connection that felt effortless.
After a few weeks of late-night conversations and laughter, Haseeb took a leap of faith. He flew from the US to Pakistan to meet me in person, and our chemistry was undeniable. It was as if we had known each other forever. That initial meeting laid the foundation for our love story, one that turned a simple DM into a lifelong commitment. Little did we know, our journey was just beginning, filled with beautiful moments that would lead us to our forever.
The Proposal
The night before our engagement, Haseeb planned an unforgettable surprise that took my breath away. He whisked me away to a stunning rooftop restaurant, reserved entirely for us under the starry sky. As we dined, the atmosphere was magical, with twinkling lights and a gentle breeze. After sharing heartfelt conversations, Haseeb’s excitement grew. Suddenly, he took my hand, looked deep into my eyes, and expressed how much I meant to him.
Then, in a moment that felt like a dream, he got down on one knee, revealing a beautiful ring. “Will you marry me?” he asked, his voice filled with hope and love. Overwhelmed with joy, I said yes, tears of happiness streaming down my face. That magical night marked the start of our journey toward forever, a promise sealed under the stars, surrounded by love and anticipation for the life ahead of us.

After a year of navigating our long-distance relationship, we were ready to celebrate our love in style. We hosted three grand events in Pakistan, each one filled with vibrant traditions, family, and joy. The celebrations were a blend of cultures, laughter, and unforgettable moments, bringing our families together and showcasing our love story.
The grand finale was our destination wedding reception in Istanbul by the Bosphorus, where we exchanged vows surrounded by breathtaking views. The stunning city provided a romantic backdrop as we celebrated with friends and family, dancing the night away.
