Sheba & Yassine Are Sharing Everything from Now On

 Unlike Sikh weddings, Hindu wedding ceremonies can take place in a banquet hall. This is the reason we start our day at the Mirage:

 The bride is in the nuptial room, blooming:

 It's so different than mine, but I really like the hair style:
 Upon his arrival, the groom is held hostage by his driver, who demands a heavy ransom:
 I'm sure Yassine's worth every penny:

 He's first task is to break the coconut:
 1 - 0 for Yassine:
 Escorted by her parents, Sheba makes an appearance, but not just any appearance:
 The couple officially greets by exchanging the garlands:
 The ceremony can start now:
 Yassine is from Morocco and obviously he's not Hindu, thus he plays everything by ear:
 He keeps scoring, though:
 Sheba's parents are ready to give their daughter away.

 Impressive idea for the mandap pillars:
 Usually only the bride 'climbs the rock', but looks like this one is big enough for both of them:
 Sapta Padi - "Take this third step with me towards prosperity and luxuries of life":
 Yassine adorns Sheba by tying a mangal sutra - wedding necklace - around her neck, while both of them are being showered with petals and rice:
 Lots and lots of petals and rice:
 Married - what a relief:

 We meet again in the afternoon, at the Fort Edmonton park:
 Which happens to be one of my favorite photo locations.

There's something different about Sheba's outfit, but I can't quite put my finger on it:
Gotta be the earrings:


 Good thing the limo is waiting for us outside!

 Oh, yeah:

 The outdoors are great!
 But we have to go back to Mirage for the reception. The couple welcomes the guests from a pretty awesome canvas with their favorite engagement session picture:
 Working the cameras on all the angles:
 The evening starts promising with a game for the newlyweds:
 25% guessing chances don't look so good:

 Now you all know. Apart from other stuff, Yassine is also singing in the shower:
 There's extra questions from the audience:
 Nobody really expects the answers to match:
 The entertainment only gets better:



 The room temperature changes abruptly with artist Marissa Puff's entrance:
 It makes sense to be this hot when you're eating flames:
 For the newlyweds there's something a little colder and sweeter:
 Congratulations, Sheba and Yassine! Thank you so much for a fantastic day!
