Representing Islamabad and Washington DC, Kiran is the resident sunshine, the eternal optimist, and the one person who successfully tolerates Aamir full-time. She brings warmth, calm, and effortless joy.

Born in Mombasa, Kenya, Aamir traded the Coast for city life and brought his legal brain to the UAE. Calm, thoughtful, and quietly funny — he is the balance to Kiran’s sunshine.

Aamir touched down in Dubai four years ago. Within thirty days, he met Kiran. What started as “Hey, neighbor” became a best friendship, and somehow the cutest plot twist of all — forever.
Two celebrations, beautifully captured as invitation cards.

The UAE is really well-connected — stay where you’ll have the most fun. Whether you fly into Dubai (DXB) or Abu Dhabi (AUH), you can easily move between the two.
Pro Tip: If you’re traveling as a family or in a group, we highly recommend checking out Airbnbs. There are incredible villas and high-rise apartments that offer great value.
To make the most of your time in the UAE, we’ve curated a list of some of our favourite spots. Whether you’re staying in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, there’s enough here to keep you busy for a lifetime — or at least for the wedding weekend.
Everyone landing at DXB or AUH should receive a free tourist SIM, usually du or Etisalat, right at immigration. It has enough data to get you to your hotel. For the rest of the trip, we recommend topping it up or grabbing an eSIM like Airalo or Nomad before you fly.
In Dubai: rent a car, use the Metro, download Careem or Uber. In Abu Dhabi: rent a car, download Uber or the Abu Taxi app. For navigation, Google Maps is okay, but Waze/Yango are better for traffic and speed camera alerts.
Yes — we highly recommend that you do. Live out your super car fantasy? If you’re from the UK, US, Canada, or most EU countries, your home license is usually enough. Others may need an International Driving Permit. Check with your rental agency, such as Hertz, Avis, or apps like Selfdrive, in advance.
Passenger service is set to be fully operational in 2026. If it’s live by October, you may want to give it a try to get between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
October 30: 8:30 PM sharp, don’t miss out on the ride. October 31: 5:00 PM. We want to catch that sunset and transition to the evening.
Night 1 at Warner Bros.: there is massive, free parking available at the park. We recommend Yas Waterworld Parking for quicker access. If you’re taking a taxi, put Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi into your app. Night 2 at Ritz-Carlton: valet parking is available for all guests, and taxis/Careem will drop you right at the front door.
Due to venue capacity, we can only accommodate those specifically named on your invitation. If your invite says “plus one,” then the more the merrier. If not, we hope you understand.
Our position is that you should relax and enjoy yourself sans kids, but we understand that some of you may need to travel with your children. Please let us know in the RSVP the names and age of each child attending. We can also suggest safe and reputable nanny services while you are in the UAE should you wish to leave the kids at the hotel.
Honestly, stay wherever makes you happy. Whether you want the Dubai skyline or the Abu Dhabi beachfront, you’ll be fine. Check out our Where to Stay section for recommendations, and don’t sleep on Airbnb — there are some absolute gems.
Masquerade Night: Glitz, Glamour, and a Mask. Colour scheme: Gold, Red, Black. Reception: Black Tie / Classy Garden Party. Colour scheme: Sand, Champagne, Olive or Navy. Pro Tip: Need a Desi outfit? Head to Meena Bazaar in Dubai. For any other fashion emergencies, reach out to Kiran.
Truly, your presence at our wedding is the only gift we need. We’ve asked you to travel across the world to be with us, and that is more than enough. However, if you would like to go above and beyond, our only request is no boxed gifts, please.
The UAE uses Type G plugs, the 3-pin British style. The voltage is 230V. If you’re coming from the US or Europe, pack an adapter.
In late October, expect highs of 30°C and lows of 24°C.
When you RSVP, please note these down so we can prepare properly.
Ask AI. In case that doesn’t work, we will be listing a Point of Contact from our wedding party here closer to the date.
To help with the planning, we would appreciate if you could RSVP by no later than 31 August 2026.
Please RSVP by 31 August 2026 so we can prepare everything beautifully.
