Brittany: "I met Robin at work. We had mutual friends in the company and one day he asked me to join him and another friend for a glass of wine. The glass of wine became our weekly tradition and one night an innocent kiss took us from friends to more. Many glasses of wine later he decided to put a ring on it!"
Susan has the necesary skills to turn a white girl into an Indian bride.
The bride has some dificulties donning her wedding bangles, but she gets all the help she needs:
Tablets are the babysitters of the century:
Meanwhile, Maros - my second shooter - spends the morning with the boys:
Well fed and madeup, Robin is ready to leave home as a single man for the last time:
The baarat takes over downtown Calgary in such an awesome way, that complete strangers are stopping their cars in the middle of the road to watch the show:
Robin's father is with us, in spirit:
Brittany's parents have a lot of Hindu wedding customs to go through and they do really well, keeping in mind that this is their daugther's first marriage.
Inside the Civic on 3rd Hall, everyone's ready for the Vedic ceremony:
Robin: "Brittany and I went to Peru for her 30th birthday and it was a crazy adventure! In those 3 weeks we sat on the runway in Dallas for 4 hours on Brit’s birthday, missed 3 flights (only 1 was our fault), lost our luggage, got up 2 times at 4am trying to find our luggage at the airport, stayed 3 hours after a flight to see if our luggage would show up, did our laundry in the hotel sink, trekked the Amazon with clothes from the airport (that’s why we missed one of our flights), went fishing for piranhas, did a 3 day trek to climb Machu Picchu, went zip lining on sketchy equipment, met some amazing people, then finally got our luggage on new year’s day (yayyyy!). It was 3 weeks of ups and downs but it was one of my favorite memories ever!"
Brittany's is lovingly welcomed into the family:
Flower petals are used by all the guests to congratulate and bless the newlyweds.
Robin: "Brittany’s spunky, she’s smart, she’s fun, she’s adventurous, she’s the best cook, she makes me laugh, she makes me complete!! That’s the girl I fell in love with and the one I get to grow old and share all my life experiences with!
We’ve already packed soooooo much into the 3 short years we’ve been together…I’m so excited to see what the next 60 have in store for us ;) "
The photo shoot ends in the chilly evening:
And the next one takes place in a much warmer enviroment, the following day, inside the Delta Hotel:
Lots of speeches are coming up, so the bridal party needs to warm up, as well:
Announced by the dhol, the couple of the hour enters the hall to kick off the last night of festivities:
For a while we are entertained by a regular comedy show in form of speeches.
The groom's last name is Happy and the bride's is Jensen, hence the clever hashtag:
With all the technicalities out of the way, the dancing can begin:
Danny turns Bhangra instructor:
With a little help that comes in liquid form, the girls learn the moves with ease:

Congratulations one more time, Brittany and Robin! Thank you so much for everything!
