On 4 August 2020, Seblani was posing for bridal portraits outside of Le Grey Hotel in Saifi Village before her wedding. During the photoshoot an explosion occurred at the Port of Beirut, less than a mile away from where Seblani was standing. The explosion, caused by more than 2,700 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, killed at least 145 people and left over 5,000 people injured. Her videographer, Mamoud Nakid, captured the detonation taking place on camera. Her fiancé, Ahmad Sbeih, had stepped away from the photoshoot to grab waters for her and the photographer. Immediately after the blast, Sbeih ran to retrieve Seblani, taking shelter in a nearby restaurant. The couple sustained no physical injuries from the explosion. After calling her family, Seblani ran out to provide medical care to other victims of the blast. They were married in a ceremony after the explosion.
