As a child, Iraqi-American SAMIRA “SAMI” RAMSEY learned to be an incurable romantic thanks to her rom-com loving, mystical aunt. Now, on the verge of 40, Sami has finally met ADAM, her person. But never mind love, how big is the wedding? That’s what her mother wants to know. And Sami finds herself sucked into the lavish, circus-like celebrations. She 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 own heart when everything around you is so damn loud?”
