Amira & Leon
We’re Getting Married!
A DAY FOR ALL TO REMEMBER
Please join us for a special weekend with good friends, great food, and new memories together.
We’ll have live music, open bar, and a global menu featuring Mediterranean favorites, Hawaiian staples, and Virginia styles — all celebrated outdoors under the harvest moon. Dress appropriately and check the weather! If it is rainy we will be under a tent, if it is cold we will have a fire!
Note: We are requesting that all guests place be fully vaccinated before arrival. If you are not vaccinated, please plan to wear a mask for the duration of the event and maintain social distance throughout. Please reach out to us with any questions, thanks!

Amira
While Amira might not have instantly recognized Leon when they connected online after 10 years, once Leon told her that he used to go by “Bucky” she instantly remembered! She even still has the CD he gave her the first time they met. Amira grew up in the west end of Richmond (at the same home where we’ll be getting married!) and works as an administrator at a small Montessori school in Richmond’s Church Hill neighborhood.
Leon
Leon had a crush on Amira when they first met years ago in Richmond — around 2007-2008, and instantly recognized her more than a decade later on a dating app online! Leon is a musician and entrepreneur, who started his own marketing agency at the outset of covid focusing on digital marketing management for better-for-you food brands!
