farah + mike | married

As the story goes, Farah thought Mike was "scruffy" and Mike thought Farah was a "snob", so both accordingly set out on a journey to prove each other wrong. Fast forward to last month when the scruffy guy and the snobby girl were married on a gorgeous day in May.
A few quick highlights:
1. The bride. Who did not stop laughing and smiling all day.
2. The groom. Who did not stop laughing (with) and smiling (at) his beautiful bride all day.
3. The amazing Indian details. From the bride's incredibly detailed and beautiful sari to her necklace, headdress, prayer beads and mehndi, everything was spectacular to look at and fun to photograph.
4. The sun. Which pushed through the impending rain and saved the day. Way to go sun!
5. The wedding location. The Ismaili Jamatkhana and Center in Burnaby is an incredible masterpiece of architecture. It's just a shame that it's so well hidden from the street. If you are ever driving along Canada Way just east of Boundary, be sure to turn south on Curle Avenue to have a look. It's a spectacular building. Here's the map link.
6. The cake topper. There's just nothing that says love like a ball and chain!
Congratulations to you, Farah and Mike. I wish you a lifetime of happiness together.
