Naf & Aleem - Ismaili Pre-wedding Rituals in Edmonton

Image
 The Ismaili wedding ceremonies last about 4 days and everything is showered with flower petals.  The colourful glitter is added to the mehndi design solely for picture purposes.  Something like this:  Shyna, the bride's sister is bringing holy water from jamatkhana:  In order to maintain the purity of the water, she's not allowed to speak or even smile before she hands the gari over to the bride's mother:  Not such an easy task because she wants hard cash in exchange:   During the Mandhvo, four uncles bring pineapples to the bride's house and place them in the four corners of the room. It's a known fact that evil doesn't like pineapples and it will not enter the premises.  However, now it's very safe for the bride to show up:  A similar story unfolds at the groom's place:  Aleem's sisters bring the gari with holy water:  Winning:  The area is secured in the same way, with the pineapples' help:  A paste made of chickpea fl...

As you may already know, prohibited areas are usually the most fascinating and appealing. So let's step in. Nav starts her wedding day with beautiful gifts from her husband to be, like a fancy purse: And shoes to match: Last, but not least, a t-shirt that she'll have to wear for the rest of her life: Her bridesmaids prove very useful: Meanwhile, I spend my morning with the groom. As soon as Amar's pants are on, Gurjot can proceed with the turban tying:  Nav: "I remember the first time I saw Amar, it was during a bhangra practice at the U of A. Amar had come in to 'teach' us and I thought to myself 'who is this guy and why does he think he can teach me bhangra?'. Fast forward a few months, we found each other on social media and exchanged numbers. Six months after our first meeting, he finally mustered up the courage to ask me out for our first date on July 1st, 2012. I always knew he was the one, and exactly six years later, it became a reality." U...

Farah & Rahim - Ismaili Wedding at the Sheraton Cavalier

Image
Farah: "On our first date, he showed up an hour late, and our first stop was a gas station; only to realize he forgot his wallet! Needless to say, it was no ordinary first date. I knew there was something special about Rahim from that very first moment... and the adventure hasn't stopped since. I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with the man who makes all my dreams come true!"  Before that happens, he has to figure out how to make a tie knot.  Maybe his groomsmen can help.  Meanwhile, at Farah's home:  Mom ties a lemon to her outfit with the specific purpose of warding off all evil spirits: She's now ready to be picked up by her prince:   Rahim: "I proposed to the woman of my dreams in September 2015, in Vancouver. I had an elaborate plan like a horse and carriage ride through Stanley Park. Needless to say, Farah asks way too many questions and I was forced to come up with an impromptu backup plan. We started to walk along English Bay and I saw a...
