01 — The beginning
Nadia made the first move.
She was in Costa Rica, he was in London, and it took two months to get into the same room.
They have seen a good deal of the world together since, and hardly any of it apart.
Come celebrate our engagement
Nadia
& Aly
SATURDAY · SEPTEMBER 26 · 2026
Toronto
We’ve added the details: how the night goes, what there is to eat, and what to wear.
How the night goes
A rough shape rather than a schedule. If there’s one thing worth being in the room for, it’s the cake.
- 7:30Doors open
- Canapés start coming round
- More food through the evening
- Cake
- 9:00DJ on
- 1:30Last call
Food and drink
Canapés start coming round at 7:30, and food keeps arriving through the evening. Passed bites early on, then hot dishes and salads laid out to help yourself. It’s not a seated dinner.
Allergy cards will be out around the room listing what’s in everything, and the staff will know too.
Photos
On the night there are QR codes around the room for sending us your photos and videos. Please do. We’d really like to see the night the way you saw it.
What to wear
We’ve been getting a lot of questions about this, so we’ve put this together. Hope it helps.
Cocktail attire. The sort of thing you’d wear to dinner somewhere nice: a dress, a jumpsuit, a suit, a blazer, a good shirt.
They each knew at a different moment.
Aly / 01
Next to her, he is, for the first time in his life, the tall one.
Nadia / 02
She has never had to cook, and now she never will. Aly took the job over from her mother without so much as a gap in service.
02 — Conveniently
She was already a Karim.
There is nothing to change and no paperwork to file, which means more time and money for travel, shoes, and handbags.
