Ottawa Nikkah Engagement Ceremony: Raehil + Rayyan

As they say, love conquers all and knows no distance. Or as Raehil put it "because 580 miles apart got nothing on us".   Raehil and her family flew in from Washington state, USA to good old Ottawa, Canada to celebrate the union of one of the most vibrant brides I've ever seen in an intimate and private setting in Rayyan's family home with close friends and family.

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.
