Sabrina first crossed paths with Saahil in Waco, Texas, while finishing her final year at Baylor University. Living with a roommate whose boyfriend often visited on football weekends, Sabrina was introduced to Saahil, who would accompany his friend. From their initial meeting, a spark was undeniable, leading their friendship to naturally evolve into a romance just as the world entered the throes of COVID-19. Sabrina says, “When the pandemic hit, we just quarantined together and learned a lot about each other (the good and the bad) and formed an unbreakable bond as a result.” 

Saahil proposed to Sabrina during a ski trip in Breckenridge, Colorado, at Sapphire Point Overlook. Sabrina says, “With the beautiful snow-covered mountains behind us and no one else around, he quite literally could not have planned a more perfect proposal for me.” 

The couple married on November 18, 2023, at the historic Grand Galvez, Galveston, a venue owned by Sabrina’s family, with a Great Gatsby-themed wedding. The outdoor ceremony overlooked the Gulf. Guests dressed in black formed a striking contrast to the white floral arrangements lining the aisle and altar. Saahil’s emotional response to Sabrina walking down the aisle was priceless! Another highlight was their puppy, Enzo, serving as the ring bearer. “It was such a special moment to see his little tail wagging as he ran toward us down the aisle,” Sabrina says. 

Following the ceremony, the couple celebrated with a reception that continued the Great Gatsby theme, complete with warm candlelight, elaborate floral arrangements and grand chandeliers in the ballroom. They ended their special day by dancing the night away and honeymooned in Hawaii.
