(These words never felt truer, or more humbling, than this past weekend when Dan Shaheen and I were married Up North in Michigan. I can’t wait to share more with you about that soon, including photos of a beautiful day–and a cake!–to remember.)

Maureen, I’m so very happy for you and your Dan.. Congratulations to you both. I don’t know if you remember me from Wells and Monroe in Chicago? I’ve been followiing your blog for some time – it’s delightful – and I’m waiting for your cookbook to come out next summer. I wish you and Dan every blessing. Alice
Alice!! How wonderful to hear from you! Of course I remember you and I hope all is well with you and your family. Thank you so much for your good wishes and for taking time to write! Sending you a big hug!
Mabrook to the happy couple. May our lebanese heritage continue. hope you have a good time with your new cousins from Lebanon.
Am late but glad I saw your marriage email. Congratulations of course Mrs. Shaheen. There was a Shaheed lady that lived in La Crosse, Wisconsin about 70 years ago, any relation to Dan?
Thank you Jerry–no relation to the La Crosse Shaheens that we know of, but perhaps somewhere along the line there is a connection!
What a beautiful picture. I almost missed that most, because I was caught up in the corn salad and all the relatives. Congratulations—truly!!!
May God grant you many years of happiness, love and prosperity together. So happy for you! By the way love your website, your blog and recipes. You represent Lebanon graciously! You are a true ambassador to our culture! Best wishes for success always!
U both look gorgeous, congratulations !
Maureen, I am so very happy for you. I hear the wedding was beautiful. How could it not be? Congratulations! 🙂
Congratulations! I also have Shaheens in my family tree – but they hail from Connecticut. Maybe we are now cousins??? hehe. 🙂
Congratulations Maureen and wishing you and Dan all the very best!!
You both asked, and were given each other. Jesus meant these words. He is truthful and compassionate. He also said that anyone exercising faith in him will not be destroyed but will have everlasting life. So my hope is that both of you attain to everlasting life in paradise on earth, together with your loved ones. That was God’s original purpose when he created Adam and Eve.
I hope that you will see your Grand mother Nabiha when she will be resurrected.
Mabrook to both, Maureen and Dan
