From Our Hearts to Yours
As we embark on our new journey together, we reflect on the true meaning of our wedding day.
This day is about more than vows between the two of us. This about you, us, and all of our guests coming together as a larger more connected family.
Your presence at this intimate gathering represents the shared intention toward new beginnings and the exciting potential of the community we can create together from this day forward.
It's about setting our hearts and minds on a shared future filled with joy, active support, and deeper connection with one another.
Join us for an unplugged day in love.
With warmth and anticipation,
Jason & Rashida Atiya

Our Story
In a twist of fate, Rashida was led to the doors of a nearby chiropractic clinic in June 2022. Little did she know, this decision was a step towards destiny.
There, she encountered Jason (at the time only known to her as “Dr. Argo”).
At first sight, they had an undeniable spark, a connection that seemed to realign the stars themselves.
With each visit, their exchanges grew from casual greetings to meaningful conversations. There was an effortless understanding, a mutual respect and trust with every kind word and warm smile.
Then, as destiny would have it, Jason landed a new job opportunity. It was this change that shifted their story from professional to personal. With a new job in hand, he took a leap of faith and asked Rashida for her phone number.
Ever since their first dinner date, they haven’t eaten another meal apart.
We invite you to celebrate this journey with us, from the waiting room to the walk down the aisle, a testament to the fact that sometimes, the best things in life come naturally with patience and a little adjustment!

Getting There
We're so excited to have you join us in Wilmington for our wedding! Here's a quick travel guide to get you sorted:
Airports: Fly directly into Wilmington International Airport (ILM) – it's super close to downtown. If you're looking for more flight options, Raleigh-Durham (RDU) and Charlotte Douglas (CLT) are also within driving distance.
Getting Around: Wilmington is compact. You can zip from one end to the other in 30 minutes, but be mindful that we’ll be celebrating during tourist season so expect longer commutes and crowds. Our venues are near downtown, so you're never far from the fun. Highways like I-40 and US-74/76 make it easy to drive in.
Stay Options: Want to stay nearby? Check out downtown hotels or Airbnb. If you're dreaming of the beach, Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach are just a short drive away and totally worth it.
Enjoy Wilmington: It's small and full of simple beauty. Take a break between wedding festivities to explore downtown, stroll by the river, or just soak in the coastal beauty.
Can't wait to see you here! Safe travels!
