Mena’s family immigrated to Canada from Egypt when he was three years old, and Emily’s father is Gujarati while her mom is American. To honour both their roots, the couple had a multi-cultural wedding ceremony in Italy, where they had a Hindu wedding, followed by a Christian one.

Mena posted a glimpse of their wedding in a joint post with Emily on Instagram, writing, “The wedding of our dreams.” The video shows Emily dressed in a red sari and Mena in a cream sherwani for their Hindu wedding, with the couple dressed in white for their Christian one. The wedding ceremonies had everything from dhol and baraat to a sangeet, if the video is anything to go by.

On 27 July, Emily also posted pictures of them dressed in cream for their engagement on Instagram, writing, “From our engagement in Japan to our wedding in Italy… let’s do this habibi.”
