Connor & Sahar

meet us in
istanbul
We can’t wait to welcome you to a city that bridges continents, cultures, and centuries of history. It’s a place that means so much to us: from our first post-grad trip together when we fell in love with the city’s energy, to now, as we prepare to begin our next chapter.
​​
Our wedding will be held at the ÇıraÄŸan, a historic Ottoman palace overlooking the Bosphorus. With its history, Istanbul’s vibrant streets, and the meeting of East and West at every corner, it felt like the perfect backdrop for a celebration that brings together our Persian and American families, our friends from around the world, and the love we’ve built since meeting on our first day at Harvard.
​
We hope you’ll not only join us for our wedding but also take some time to experience the city, sip Turkish coffee, wander through bazaars, and feel the magic that captured our hearts.
Friends & Family
We are grateful for your love as we celebrate this special moment. We recognize that attending a destination wedding is not a small commitment. We do not take this effort lightly and deeply appreciate all who can attend.
​
We understand that for some, the trip may not be possible. Please know that your love means just as mush to us from afar. No matter where you are, you are integral to our journey, and we are grateful to have you in our lives.
