Syrian actors Shadi Maqrish and Najlaa Khamri had recently celebrated their marriage at a private ceremony held at the Ummaya hotel in Damascus. The wedding was attended by family members and very close friends of the groom and bride.
According to the internet website MBC.net, Shadi revealed that he and Najlaa decided to get married after a love affair that lasted for a year and a half. He added that he met Najlaa by coincidence and it was love at first sight for both of them.
