The wedding day began with a sense of wonder with Andrew and Celine's magical first look at one of Carmen's wedding venues, Carmen's Banquet Centre. It was a moment of pure joy, all culminating in Andrew's smile and Celine's ethereal radiance in her Indian Lilac gown.

But even as this moment unfolded, their hearts resonated with cherished memories of their vibrant Mehendi and Haldi ceremonies. The intricate and artistic henna, still fresh on their skin, carried a dual symbolism: the rich, traditional henna colour on one side and a unique white design on the other. Andrew, too, wore a henna design, a romantic touch that featured both his and Celine's initials. These ceremonies were more than just a prelude to their wedding; they were a tangible reminder of their culture, their family's blessings, and the depth of their love.

This part of their journey offered an opportunity to embrace their profound connection. It emphasized the importance of having time alone on the day, a quiet space to cherish each other's presence before diving back into the festivities. The intimate setting of Dundurn Castle enabled the couple to be themselves, to feel and express their emotions freely, and those genuine moments were captured, forever etched in their wedding story.

This kind of personal and unhurried time can be essential to the wedding day. It offers not just a chance for beautiful photos but an opportunity for the wedding couple to be present with one another, to ground themselves in the significance of their commitment, and to carry those feelings through the rest of their wedding celebration. It's an invaluable part of the day that future couples may also find resonates deeply with their own desires and values for their wedding day.
