Calling all of Andre and Meghan's family and friends to a beautiful yet remote location! That is right my cousin Andre married his fiance Meghan in Lake Louise, Canada which is about two hours north of Calgary. On Saturday, June 12 in The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise Andre and Meghan were married. Below are a bunch of photos from the wedding. Sorry for the amount, but I had to brag - Andre is one of my first cousins from my mom's side.

The Reception:
The Couple's first dance
Me giving a blessing before we eat! Now here is a funny story, I was trying to make sure that I did not forget Meghan's name; so I kept running her name in my head over and over "Meghan Elliott, Meghan Elliott, Meghan Elliott." Well I remembered it so much that I forgot my own cousin's first name. In the prayer I said "the wedding of Meghan and Elliott" instead of Meghan and Andre! I know how I could I, but I did. Thankfully Andre took it in stride and so do I so that I could actually finish the blessing.
The cake cutting!
An Egyptian Wedding Reception would not be complete with a Belly Dancer - Here is a photo of my Uncle Ashraf and the Belly Dancer - Words could never describe this photo with justice
