A FAIRMONT HOTEL MacDONALD WEDDING // EDMONTON, ALBERTA
Sarai and Amine met only about 3 years ago when Amine was the new employee at the restaurant Sarai worked at. Sarai’s best friend and maid of honour also worked at this same restaurant, and had started noticing a little something something slowly developing between the two. When asked about the relationship, Sarai said she would never date him because he talked too much! Ha! Lo and behold, as the days passed, turns out that Amine’s kind words would finally win over Sarai’s heart. So here we are, 3 years later watching them make their lifelong commitment to each other! They could not look any happier.
Their day was a joyous one. The ceremony was filled with laughter and jokes and despite the threat of rain, the sunshine stayed out for their special day. The seats were filled with no one else but the couple’s closest friends and family members. Guest came from far and wide to be with them – and those that were unable to make it, were there thanks to technology (Skype!).
