A 27-year-old American graduating doctor is set to marry to her medical degree.
The medical doctor, Angie Hamouie from Houston, Texas cares less as she celebrates her ‘wedding’ by throwing what she has dubbed a “graduwedding.”
Angle is graduating from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in June this year.
Hamouie has gone to the extent of creating a website on wedding website: The Knot to announce her union with her M.D.
According to her, there’s going to be a wedding-style dress, a first dance with the diploma and, of course, graduwedding cake.
Hamouie’s Knot page reads:
“This was such a big deal for her, because it was the culmination of three degrees and nine years of higher education.
“Her match represented everything she had worked toward.
Hamouie realized this graduation would only happen once in her life.
So she wondered, why is it that no one really celebrates their graduation?
And if she threw a party, how could she convey that this party was a Big Deal?”

Therefore, after her ‘enmatchment’, Hamouie plans a graduwedding.
The party is set for May 13, and she’s invited friends and family to come join her on her big day.
Hamouie, who is going into Obstetrics & Gynecology, explained that, for women, it’s especially important to celebrate a successful career just as much as we celebrate engagements and weddings.
Hamouie disclosed to The Huffington Post: “I didn’t think folks would take this party seriously because it was ‘only’ a graduation.
“I wanted to convey that this milestone is a huge deal for me and I thought the best way to do that would be by pretending to marry my degree.
“I feel that for women especially, we feel pressure to choose one or the other: the career or the marriage.

“And when we really only celebrate weddings, it sends a loud message about what we’re expected to prioritize.
“The message I ultimately want to send with my graduwedding is that getting an education is a huge feat, and it should be celebrated as such.”
