multi-cultural vancouver wedding | gavy & marie
i know i say this all the time, but i learn a lot from a couple through the speeches made at the reception. i could tell you what i knew about them before: super warm indian dude who works at a cedar mill meets calm and kind art director at lululemon, they fall in love, get engaged in thailand and marry, beautifully celebrating each other, their individual families and cultures and their love for the city they call home.
but truth is, i’ve only known them for less than a year. and while i pride myself in connecting with my clients in a way that is authentic, those making the toasts…they are the ones who have invested in gavy and marie for their whole lives. they are the ones who have raised, cried over, prayed for, made trouble with, listened to and loved this couple. so when they speak, i listen and what i hear is a father not only celebrating what a kind hearted daughter he has, but in the same breath praising her mother for how she raised their children. what i hear are three women who trust and love their friend, knowing that she will always be there for them. what i hear is an honorary brother, grieving over a time when his dear friend made some poor choices and revelling in the fact that they were standing together today as he made one of the best choices of his life. what i hear are stories of a father who loved his little boy so immensely and would be so proud of the man he’s become. so i feel like i can say i know you two now and my suspicions have been confirmed: you’re pretty amazing.
