Bright, Airy, and Fun: Shivani and Karan's Magical Wedding at Edmonton Conference Center

Love Story

We're thrilled to share the enchanting love story of Shivani Bagga and Karan, a tale that spans years, continents, and cultures. Their journey began long before they even realized it, with their families intertwined for over 16 years. But fate had a special plan in store for this beautiful couple.

"Our story began long before we even knew it was unfolding," Shivani reminisces. "Our families have been intertwined for over 16 years, yet fate had a special plan in store for us. It wasn't until after Shivani's cousin's wedding that our paths finally crossed. Karan bravely reached out, igniting a conversation that would change our lives forever. And so, our love story began!"

Their first date at Square One Coffee marked the beginning of a remarkable journey. As neighbors who had never truly seen each other before, they embarked on countless adventures together, exploring the world hand in hand. "Travel has been a cornerstone of our relationship, and oh, the places we've seen! From the majestic Rocky Mountains to the vibrant cities of Vancouver, Victoria, and Kelowna, to the charming streets of Milan, Como, Venice, and Rome, and even to the rich culture of India, each destination has woven its own thread into the fabric of our love story," the couple shares.

But it was in Milan, Italy,where their love story reached a new pinnacle. In a moment straight out of a fairytale, Karan proposed to Shivani in front of the magnificent Duomo. "It was a surreal moment of pure love and joy, and we knew in that instant that it was the beginning to our happily ever after," they say.

As they stand on the cusp of this new chapter, their excitement is palpable. "We cannot wait to begin this new life together, hand in hand, hearts intertwined, and souls united in love," the couple expresses.

Shivani and Karan's wedding was a grand affair, held on June 13, 2024, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The couple spent a year meticulously planning their dream wedding, which was described as "Bright, Airy, and Fun." With over 600 guests in attendance, this multicultural celebration was truly a sight to behold.

"Love and support of each other," is what inspired them along the way.
