Rebecca + Omar: Married!

Surrounded by their closest friends and family on a gorgeous day in downtown Montreal, Rebecca and Omar tied that knot in downtown Montreal. It was a wedding where the traditional and the contemporary blended together – Rebecca and Omar said their vows in a traditional Catholic ceremony at Christ Church Cathedral, during which Omar’s brother played a soulful acoustic guitar solo between an organ accompanied hymn and an exhortation. During their cocktails, the joyous couple made their grand entrance into their cocktail area at Newtown on Cresecent ushered by musicians playing traditional Arabic instruments. And their jazz duo, on top of playing standards, broke into a little Radiohead during dinner. And I shouldn’t forget to mention the awesome shoes (Sketchers and Converse, respectively) that Rebecca and Omar donned shortly before the festivities of the evening. The things, and more importantly, the people that mattered most to these two were a big part of their incredible day. Check out some of favorite images below:
