Naadira & Cole
You're invited
Welcome!
We are so excited to celebrate our wedding with the people we love most. Thank you for being part of this unforgettable chapter in our lives.
Please have a look around for all the details you'll need, and we can't wait to welcome you to Dubai to celebrate with us on 9 January 2027.
One & Only The Palm
Our wedding celebration will take place at the beautiful One&Only The Palm, one of Dubai's most exclusive beachfront resorts, located on the iconic Palm Jumeirah.
Set beneath the stars, surrounded by lush gardens, gentle sea breezes, and stunning views of the Arabian Gulf, this outdoor venue offers the perfect setting for an elegant and unforgettable evening. We can't wait to celebrate this special occasion with you in such a magical atmosphere.

Timeline
Our Story
Our story began in the most unexpected way.
In early September 2023, Naadira baked a batch of cookies and brought them into the office. As she and her friend Anushka wandered around giving away the extras, Cole asked for one. To this day, he insists he isn't sure what caught his attention first—the cookies or the girl handing them out. (Although a message to our now mutual friend Alex about the "pretty girl handing out cookies in the office" might give it away.)
We barely spoke after that, but reconnected later that September. Naadira mentioned she worked in HR at a consulting firm, Cole searched her name on Teams... only to discover they worked at the same company. Someone once said, "don't shit where you eat", but neither of us took that advice.
From then on, Dubai Hills Mall became our unofficial meeting spot for countless coffees and catch-ups, so a special thank you to Dubai Hills Mall—you were a small but memorable part of our story.
Like every great love story, ours came with its share of challenges. Through it all, we chose each other, every single time.
As for Cole? We'd like to think he proposed because he fell hopelessly in love... although he still claims marrying someone from HR was the safest option.
Now, we can't wait to celebrate the beginning of our forever with all of you.
