Novelist Iman Hariri-Kia hosted the cultural hybrid wedding of her dreams in the Portuguese countryside.
Despite having gone to college together, author Iman Hariri-Kia and Matthew’s love story started during the summer of 2016, when the pair bumped into each other while both trying to Irish exit the same New York City club. “My aunt lived close by, and I drunkenly convinced her doorman to give me the keys to the roof of her building, so we could keep talking,” Iman remembers. “We went up there and spoke candidly about anything and everything until the sun began to rise.
“It was so hot the day we were married that my husband had to fan me while this was going on, because I was melting beneath my veil,” Iman says. And when the officiant asked Iman if she would take this man to be her husband, she refused twice before finally saying yes. “The goal of this practice is to make guests, and the groom, a bit nervous by making them wait. It definitely worked: I saw some of our Western guests looking a wee bit concerned!” Iman admits.
