​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​On Sunday, September 23, 2012 ​The Wedding Reception
​​​ ​​ The wedding reception was all about food, fun, and good company! We celebrated Shameem and Saleem's grand entrance and first day as a married couple. The night was full of traditions and entertainment. We heard heartfelt roasts from parents, brothers, sisters and friends. And we enjoyed live performances
from our Unlce, Nephew and Niece. The night ended with a fun twist much to ​Saleem's dismay. A
missing band left him serenading Shameem to a live, acapella version of Stevie Wonder's
​My Cherie Amour. The crowd was shocked and sang along with joy and support!
God bless them all!
