All of you attending both the ceremony and the wedding reception know Jordon and Bassam. However, Jordon is the only person who calls him Bass, and he’s the only person who calls him Jordie. So, if you hear these names during the ceremony or the reception, we promise you’re at the right wedding. Now, let’s get to the story!

New York City is one of the most populous, hectic, and busy places in the world. For some reason, New Yorkers seem to always run into the same people because

of our routines and where we live.

The story between Bassam and Jordon is likely one of the most ironic tales of how love can blossom. They never saw each other out, never passed each other on the street and did not even have any mutual friends well one who introduced them one evening out and ironically enough everyone lived on 30th street just between

11th and 9th avenue.

Who knew that true love was only one city block away? The connection was instant. Most would say it’s crazy that within only 3 months they took a trip to Europe together, but moved in is the with each other. The phrase "you just know when you know" was heard a lot! It’s a just as crazy as living on the same city block from one another only a few minutes walk from one another this whole time.

Life can be hard, funny, sad, disappointing, and sometimes pure joy! When you find that one person that gives you more pure joy than anything else in this

world, you know you have found that one

special person to share life’s journey.

They traveled the world together, with trips to Amsterdam, Miami, Paris, Mykonos , Rome, Cabo San Lucas, and in Sicily where in September of 2024 at the San Domenico Taormina Castle (The White Lotus) is where Jordon proposed over dinner. Bassam’s YES also included, you have really out done yourself with this one!

Then we have the ski trip to Whistler Canada for Jordon's 40th birthday that they extended a few days even because, why not. Lastly One of the most important trips they have taken was to Beirut so Jordon could meet Bassam's family & his mother.

The life that Jordon and Bassam now have together is something magical, something that most people dream about. What makes everything so magical is their true love for each other. Jordon constantly shares with family member's and their friends one for the most important parts to loving, caring, and meaningful relationships is when you see your other half happy that is when I am my most content and fulfilled.

Many know the phrase “Happy Wife (Husband) Happy Life” this is a phrase Jordon just loves because when he sees Bassam happy, it brings joy and happiness to Jordon. A joy and happiness that he never thought could exist, never really understood what real love was until he met his other half. Love is crazy.

Both of the are completely supportive and also empathetic of each other. A true love story that all started on 30th Street only a few minutes walk away from one another between 9th and 10th Avenues in NYC!

Both Jordon & Bassam want to thank all our friends and family for joining us on this special night and celebrating not just love out for one another but to ring in the New Year 2026 with family and our best of friends! Thank you to all of our guests who traveled both near and far.

Jordon and Bassam are deeply blessed to have had the help of Jordon’s parents David and Shelley to throw us such a gorgeous engagement party and also help contribute to our dream wedding we have been able to share with all of our family and friends.

We hope everyone has an amazing evening with us not celebrating what true love really is but also celebrating what a magical year 2025 was for Jordon & Bassam, and helping us create memories that will last forever!
