On a warm-cold day in the start of the year 2019, Tine and Faisal, decided to off-road and marry in the desert, far away from civilization, and just amongst those few that mattered.

Being people of the water (yes, professional divers), Tine and Faisal met on the internet - specifically Tinder. Ooo these 2 are flawless (knocks on wood, and all those good stuff to keep evil spirits away!)

Over a few causal dates and a few long walks across Abu Dhabi’s Corniche, our Kurdish groom, Faisal, was floored by Tine’s loud smile, witty humor, and ‘fight-for-the-right’ attitude. And our American born, global citizen bride, was impressed by the charming, humble and kindness of her to-be-groom.

Fast forward to the wedding day, with the bridal party (and us- yayy!) packed in the back seat with friends who had flown in JUST 2 hours ago, we headed south to our wedding venue - The Arabian Village. 

And then a slight little moment, tucked away, before the ceremony begins.

And on to the cold breeze, warm sand, and a toasty sun. We see Tine + Faisal as man and wife.

And with the brother of the bride officiating the wedding, could it be any more perfect?

And like the non-typical couple that they are, let’s appreciate the moment of their first hi-5!

And then we shift from the golden dunes to the wild dance floors, with nothing above us but the plain stars that shine so bright for Tine + Faisal.

Cutting your own cake, and serving it too! Tine + Faisal deserve party the night away.
