Hollywood actor Mena Massoud, known for his role in ‘Aladdin’, has taken his relationship to a new level by marrying actress Emily Shah. The couple held a multicultural wedding ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, this past July.
Mena Massoud-Emily Shah: Hollywood actor Mena Massoud from the film 'Aladdin' has married Emily Shah, an actress from 'Jungle Cry'. The two tied the knot in a traditional Indian style ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, this July. They shared the joyous occasion with their fans by posting a video on the social media platform Instagram. Mena and Emily got engaged in 2023 and had been dating each other for four years prior to that.
Marriage After Four Years of Dating
Mena Massoud and Emily Shah first met in 2018 through an artist-dating app in Los Angeles. Their relationship gradually deepened, and after dating for approximately four years, they decided to get married. The couple got engaged in 2023. Emily Shah had shared pictures from their engagement on Instagram on July 27, where she was seen in a cream-colored outfit. Along with the post, she wrote, "From our engagement in Japan to our wedding in Italy… let's celebrate."
Wedding According to Hindu and Christian Rituals
Respecting their traditions, Mena Massoud and Emily Shah celebrated their marriage through two distinct ceremonies. Mena's family migrated from Egypt to Canada, while Emily's father is Gujarati and her mother is American. Therefore, keeping their cultural and familial traditions in mind, they organized wedding ceremonies according to both Hindu and Christian customs.
During the Hindu wedding, Emily wore a red saree and Mena donned a cream-colored sherwani. In the Christian ceremony, both wore white attire to mark the beginning of their new life together. The celebrations included all traditional rituals, such as dhol, music, and a baraat (groom's procession).
Mena Massoud shared glimpses of his wedding with Emily Shah on Instagram, writing, "The wedding of our dreams." The video shows them dressed in attire that reflects their traditions and enjoying the ceremony. This video is rapidly going viral among fans on social media, with many congratulating the couple on their marriage.
