Choosing to love each other is one of the most important decisions we have made. We are incredibly honored to start our marriage alongside you, our family. You have poured into our relationship and into us as individuals. You embody what love is in action. Here's to a weekend all about love.

Registry

We are grateful for any gift in the form of cash or check, or via Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle. These gifts will go to our honeymoon, movie dates, and the growing cost of living in North America.

Our Wedding

Train • For those looking for an adventure, with good knees, no young kids, and stamina to get up and down stairs. The MTA subway system is an easy and affordable way to get around the city. Do not take the train to our wedding, you do not have time to get lost. Lyfts &amp; Ubers • Easiest choice more often than not. Of course they add up – but that’s your pocket, not ours. Car Service &amp; Cabs • We like to use car services and cabs to get to/from the airport. They are MUCH more affordable than carshare and easier to get in and out. We use Apple Radio Cars, 718-363-9000. Car Rental • If and only if you like dealing with parallel parking. And traffic. And you’re an aggressive driver. You’d be better off with Uber though.

Q & A

Music is our love language, live jazz is our favorite date night vibe &amp; Robtober Fest - hosted every October - is always a good idea.

Blue Note

A first kiss so dreamy they named the bar after it. Formerly called St. Ends, Kissa Kissa is a cute cocktail bar perfect for a lowkey nightcap where we had drinks after the fancy dinner date that sealed the deal on our relationship.&nbsp;

Kissa Kissa

Flatbush Avenue raised Ishaq. In case you didn't know, he's Ja-fake-an. Grab some of the city's best jerk chicken and enjoy a lunch lakeside at <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/7vbL9ZrhNZjxEf1R9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Prospect Park</a>.
