Emotions were running high in the library where the bride’s entourage glammed up and prepared for her grande entrance.  As she pinned her intricately embroidered veil over her head and slipped on her diamond strapped golden shoes, not a single girl in the room could keep a dry eye.  Embracing her best friend, they shared a silent prayer to ease the bridal jitters.  Having become used to meticulous punctuality as a doctor-to-be, Waed anxiously glanced at the clock that struck delayed in her mind.

Sometimes timing can be so off.  Other times, just so absolutely perfect.  Angad and Katherine’s circles intertwined through mutual friends a few years back.  As their friendship evolved over the years, Angad realized that his respect and appreciation for her came from somewhere deep in his heart.  But the timing wasn’t right.  A political scientist by training, Katherine's adventures took her into a completely different direction around the world.  Angad continued to pursue his business studies in Ottawa, waiting patiently until the stars finally aligned.

Rideau Hall Engagement Shoot | Cassie + Morgan

It’s been ten years since Cassie and Morgan officially became an item, and more than twenty since they’ve known one another. They grew up together in a small town just north of Toronto.  Cassie admitted that they used to spend hours and hours giggling on the phone all night long with the carefree air of young teenage love, even gushing that they’d get married one day.  As the fates have it, they were both accepted into university in Ottawa.  And so their journey together has continued in the heart of the capital, with cappuccinos in their hand, heads in their books and open hearts to what the future has to hold.

Brittany wore her favourite colour - fuchsia pink.  A pink sari delicately designed with silver and gold beading all over.  With a smile from ear to ear she gleefully entered into the elegantly styled hall filled with her awaiting family and close friends.

Chemistry.  Literally chemistry.  It was at Gloucester High School in CHEM11 class where these two opposites first attracted.  A soccer jock, Samer’s life revolved around dribbling the ball up and down the field and scoring the winning goals.  He was not ready for the bright and bubbly Brittany to take his attention away from his love.
