Her Relationship Details With Husband Ali Lyad Yakub

Gushing about personal life, Margaret, who was born on 26 March 2018, has a long love story related to her marriage. She is blissfully married to the handsome hunk, Maj. Ali Iyad Yakub, who happens to be the judge advocate in the Marine Corps.

The pair first met as acquaintances during their college days at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville in September 1988.

Margaret was a freshman at the time while Maj. Ali was a senior student, and the two only shared occasional greetings while passing by the U-Va.’s Lawn. Both of them were miles away from the thought of dating each other as Margaret found Yado to be much of a 'Party Boy' while Yado found Margaret 'very Connecticut.' 

Afterward, Margaret went abroad to study for a semester of Arabic at the Yarmouk University in Irbid, Jordan in the summer of 2000. Interestingly, Margaret happened to share an apartment with Yado's sister Samia Yakub and not just the apartment but also friendship. The two became friends and traveled together including Margaret's visit to Samia and Yado's grandmother.

On June 2012, Margaret moved to Washington from New York to work for CBS. It was only then she reconnected with Samia via Facebook and shared a dinner later. While at dinner, Yado's name came up and Margaret got a "Kick out" on knowing that the boy she remembered with T-shirts and flip-flops at Virginia had become not just a lawyer but also a Marine military.

Meanwhile, Yado also returned to Washington for his congressional fellowship in December 2012. 

Coincidentally in February 2013, Margaret ran into Yado while she was walking her dog in the street of Washington. The two chatted for some time, and Yado invited Margaret to a party that he held in his apartment. Margaret attended the party and found that the boy, once she knew, had become incredibly sophisticated, fun and cute. 

At the end of the night, Yado gave Margaret his business card and suggested they meet again for comparing notes. In the weeks that followed, the couple shared emails and met timely for drinks and dinners despite the hectic schedule. Finally, by June 2013, the pair started dating and after five months went for a trip to Thailand. 

The minute they returned to the states Yado, without letting Margaret know, bought an engagement ring. On 15 March 2014, after picking Margaret up at the Andrews Air Force Base, the two went on a walk on the U-Va. Lawn (the place they first met) where Yado got on one knee and proposed his lady. 

Finally, on 11 April 2015, the couple tied the knot and vowed to be each other's partner for life at the wedding ceremony held at the historic Decatur House in downtown Washington.
