Two Brides, One Love Story: A Wedding Filled with Culture, Tradition, and Joy

Weddings and Receptions

Liz and Settareh’s wedding at Hickory Street Annex was a beautiful reflection of their love—one that honors culture, tradition, and authenticity. As a Persian-American same-sex couple, their journey wasn’t always easy, but every step led them to this unforgettable day, surrounded by the people who love them most. From start to finish, their day was filled with so much love, joy, and meaning—it was truly an honor to be part of it.

In their own words:

“When we met 10 years ago, we knew our connection was something extraordinary. Our love has been a journey—one built on patience, resilience, and navigating the challenges of cultural expectations. As a Persian-American couple in a same-sex relationship, our path hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been worth every step. Our wedding day was not just a celebration of our love; it was a tribute to breaking barriers, honoring authenticity, and creating space for others to follow their hearts unapologetically.

Hickory Street Annex felt like the perfect reflection of our story—warm, unique, and full of character. From the moment we walked in, the space felt like home, and Michelle and her team made every detail seamless. Standing there together, surrounded by the people who’ve supported us through every twist and turn, was overwhelming in the best way. Our wedding day was more than just a ceremony—it was a celebration of love, family, and the power of staying true to who you are.

Michelle, thank you for helping make this day everything we hoped it would be and more, your kindness and care truly made all the difference!”
