The names
Within the gold rule
Two gazelles turned to one another, pomegranates split open at the foot, and a frame ruled in gold on a ground of oxblood. Everything around it is ornament; the centre is left for you.

Their story
How it happened
- Summer 2024
The crossing
They met on a friend’s felucca at sunset. He untied the rope, she asked whether he actually knew what he was doing, and he did not.
- Winter 2026
The question
He asked her in the middle of the river, where she could not walk away — her words, retold at every family gathering since.
- Spring 2027
The mooring
The two families walked the marsa together and agreed on one thing before anything else: the wedding would be on the water.
