As a child, SAMIRA “SAMI” RAMSEY learned to be an incurable romantic, thanks to her rom-com loving, mystical aunt. Now, on the verge of turning 40, Sami is about to marry ADAM. But never mind love, how big is the wedding? That’s what her mother wants to know. Because the only thing Iraqi moms like more than a party is a lavish wedding party. Sami just needs to get through this wedding and then her life with Adam will be her own... right?


My So-Called Iraqi-American Wedding asks the question, “How do you listen to your heart when everything around you is so damn loud?”
