Meera and Tim's Wedding

In July I went to Canada for Meera and Tim's wedding. I am so glad that I went and so grateful that I actually got to spend quite a bit of time with Meera, Tim and their families before and after the wedding. Big thanks to Meera and Tim for such an amazing experience.

I arrived in Calgary the evening of Meera's bachelorette party. Unfortunately my flight was delayed leaving Auckland and I missed my connection in Vancouver and also missed the pole dancing lesson. But I caught up with everyone for dinner that evening.
The next day it was time for pedicures. I've never had such a great pedicure in my entire life. Look how pretty my toes are.















That evening was the Mehdni party and look how pretty my hand is.

















The next evening was the rehearsal party with lots of dancing.





















The wedding itself was a joint Anglican/Hindu wedding held at an Anglican church. Although my Sanskrit isn't great, I really enjoyed the beautiful ceremony.




















The time for the reception held in a beautiful location in the foothills of the Rockies in Cochrane.
My hair straightener didn't work in Canada.
To my surprise, there were Kiwi style toilets.
Meera's sister Neeta.
It was also great to catch up with some old Calgary friends like Katherine, and some new ones like Isobel.
