Wow, what a wedding. Two cities and hundreds of loved ones celebrating together for these amazing people. The venues were stunning, the ceremonies powerful, the dancing insane, we got to see a ton of “flients” and catch up…But the best part of all was being lucky enough to get to hang out with Vini and Money. You guys are amazing. Thanks again for sharing your time with us. We’re really really honored.
We started last weekend in Calgary for the Shagan ceremony, where the families celebrated the engagement.
We snuck them outside for some quick portraits. Loves it.
Ok, straight up. Punjabis know how to party. If you ever get invited to one of their dances, you’d be a fool not to go. But bring earplugs :)
Then a week later, we were back in Calgary for the wedding. It was one of those extremely rare times when we were up early enough to see the sun rise. Worth it.
Money’s nephew about to have his pagh (turban) tied.
Vini’s mother put handprints on the wall of their home after the maya ceremony.
One of my favourite ceremonies: the baraat. Money rides in on a white horse, his face covered by the sehra.
The ceremony was held at the gorgeous Sikh Society of Calgary gurdwara.
Money just about to enter.
Reading from the holy scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib.
Money enters Vini’s parents house to take her with him. He has to pay off her sisters to be allowed entry.
And then, tied together with a scarf, he leads her away in the highly emotional doli ceremony.
Vini and her father, after hugging goodbye.
Her mother and uncles console her.
And Money’s father and uncle throw coins behind the car.
And then some portraits around Calgary. Nice.
We love the silliness.
I think this one is my fav :)
And then we all drove back to Edmonton, for a ceremony welcoming Vini into Money’s parents home. Money’s mother feeds them both sweets.
And then the final day! The reception in Edmonton. I think this is both to most trippy and most awesome ring shot Rob has ever done.
Epic first dance.
Hope you all enjoyed those images! As always, we love comments!!
Tomorrow Rob and I take off. Hopefully I’ll have time to set up a few blog posts that will publish while we’re gone, but who knows :) If not, you’ll have these gorgeous kids to look at while we’re away! And remember, check back in a couple weeks to see what we’re up to. It’s gonna be mind blasting!!
