Megan the Bride... Background Information

I was born and raised in Richland, Washington.  Richland is in the south eastern corner of the state.  Like many places on the west coast, people were warm, laid back, and friendly.  I made amazingly wonderful friends during my time in Richland.  Two of the main friends on my wedding team, Libby Heeb (maid of honor) and Nisha Kapadia (cherished bridesmaid), have been my friends since middle school.  Libby, Roberta Wright (another close friend from high school) and I all went to Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington.  Roberta, if you are reading this, I hope all is well with you in New York.  I majored in a combined degree called biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology.  Another significant part of my life was joining the sorority Delta Gamma.  I made great friends at Whitman, and even closer friends in the Boulder alum chapter.  I look forward to reconnecting with friends during the wedding process.  

Love, Megan

Alan the Groom

I was born and raised in Baghdad, Iraq.  I spent 23 years of my life there, then my family decided to move to Erbil, Iraq because it was safer the live there.  

I was awarded a Fulbright scholarship in 2005, and in August 2006 I arrived in Boulder, Colorado to pursue a Masters degree in Telecommunications.  Coming to Boulder was a big adventure for me.  I liked the place right away.  I like the people and made many great friends.  I also started to get to like football.  Life seemed great, but the best is yet to come...

Meeting Megan changed my life forever.  I liked everything about that girl: her smile, her looks, her laughs, her honesty... the list goes on.  I knew that Megan was the one, and I'm getting even more confident about that day after day.

I am currently patiently waiting for my work permit to arrive, so I can begin working in the telecommunications field.  I hope to work for some of the top telecom companies in the Denver Tech Center.  I am really enjoying the move to Littleton, but I will miss being close to the Colorado Buffaloes football games.  I will have to make the drive up north every once and a while.  Overall, our future looks bright.
