Mira & Sherif in Detroit, MI

Rich color and cultural traditions were at the forefront of Mira and Sherif's elegant celebration at Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and Fox Theatre. THE BRIDE Mira Attia, a 26-year-old dentist THE GROOM Sherif Albert, a 26-year-old dentist THE DATE August 28 Sherif missed his girlfriend's birthday -- a serious faux pas in most relationships. So he decided to make it up to her by taking her out to a romantic restaurant and showering her with presents. Or one present, wrapped in a Fendi box, to be precise. He wanted me to think it was a purse, says Mira. And though a new Fendi bag certainly would have been a welcome surprise, Mira opened the box to find something even better: a photo of Sherif on one knee in a silver picture frame engraved with the words Will you marry me? When I looked up, he was kneeling, wearing the same outfit he had on in the photo, and asking me if I would marry him, says Mira.
