Thoughts

Married 🎉😭

· Faris Mohamed

الحمد لله، يسرّنا أن نعلن عن عقد نكاحنا. بارك الله لنا وعلينا، وجمع بيننا في خير

Meaning: All praise is due to Allah, we are pleased to announce our nikāḥ (marriage contract). May Allah bless us, bless upon us, and unite us in goodness.

Tonight, on the 7th of September 2025, I’m sitting here as a husband. She is my wife. That’s still sinking in, and honestly, we both can’t fully process it yet. It feels surreal, euphoric, almost like we’re floating. Tomorrow, I’ll bring her home, and we’ll begin our life together as husband and wife. That thought alone keeps me grounded and smiling.

The last two days have been a blur. Everything happened so fast, with moments flashing by in chaos. My mind couldn’t catch up, and I can’t even remember most of what took place. I’ll need to revisit the photos and videos just to relive it all, to piece back the moments that slipped through time’s grip.

And then, I launched clipthis.link. While today was meant to be only a personal milestone, I created a professional one too—almost as a way to lift myself from a heavy mood. clipthis.link is a tool that lets you save the links that matter and add your thoughts to each one. You can chat with your entire collection like it’s a knowledgeable friend who remembers everything you found interesting. Organize your discoveries into beautiful, shareable boards, turning scattered bookmarks into curated knowledge. Request early access here: clipthis.link

Now to the part I wish I didn’t have to write. The night that should have been colorful, peaceful, and one of the most memorable of our lives was hijacked. It was ruined to please random strangers and so-called “good relatives.” Instead of celebrating our joy, people put their pride above our happiness. It hurt. It felt like an attack on our peace—and even on my manhood. That, I cannot forgive. Whoever stood in our way will pay the price, because nothing and no one has the right to disrupt the beginning of our journey together except Allah.

But still, through all of it, the fact remains: I am her husband, and she is my wife. That truth outshines everything else.
