Nour Jabra and Julian Smida

Our love story began in the dynamic world of startups in Lebanon, 2016. I was interviewing entrepreneurs for Nooreed, my career guidance startup, and Julian stood out with his entrepreneurial zeal. Although our first encounter was for professional reasons, there was an unmistakable connection that lingered long after.

Years passed, and our lives took us in different directions until destiny brought us back together in London, 2021. A chance reunion in a city far from where we first met reignited our spark. This unexpected encounter turned into a beautiful new beginning.

From our initial professional meeting to reconnecting by chance in London, our relationship has blossomed into a deep, enduring love. Our journey is a reminder that sometimes, the most profound connections are made in the most unexpected ways. We can't wait to celebrate this journey with you and embark on the next chapter of our lives together

On July 7, 2023, which also happens to be Nour's birthday, Julian proposed at the top of the London Eye. It was simple, unexpected, and memorable - just us and the vast London skyline. This moment not only marked Nour's birthday but also the day we decided to embark on a lifelong journey together. We look forward to sharing this new chapter with all of you.
