And that’s love.

“So, I suppose that’s the point: Love chooses us. My husband and I don’t have a great “meeting” story. We met in a conventional way and had a conventional wedding. And in some sense, we lead a conventional life. But my husband has seen me at my worst, at my most vile. And he has [...]

Twelve weeks into the New Year and 4 out of 5 of you have already forsaken this year’s resolutions. I, myself, can hardly believe how quickly the years are going by. I swear I’ve barely had time to catch up. 2012 ended on a strange and anxious note and 2013 simply picked up where the [...]

Happy weekend and a very happy spring to you all!

{Real Wedding} Sapna & Nitin

Sammiosa — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 06:34:29 +0000

Just a couple of weeks ago, with everyone doing July 4th themed posts, I had thought to myself that I would never post a bride wearing red, white and navy blue. Well, that was before I came upon Sapna & Nitin’s gorgeous wedding here. I absolutely love the combination of modern vibrance and regal elegance. [...]

{Vintage Rings} Something old, something blue

Sammiosa — Thu, 31 May 2012 22:42:21 +0000

I never really got the big deal about the engagement rings. Its not that I don’t appreciate (and lust after) sparkle and bling, because trust me I do (my pinterest boards should be proof enough). Its just that I never quite understood how one object could be such a defining function of a marriage. From [...]

Even before facebook made fabulous photoshoots an absolute must for every bride, I always looked forward to seeing couples’ bridal portraits.

The way I see it, once the wedding is over all that’s [...]

Planning a wedding is a fulltime job. With several events often held back to back – spanning over a week or more – it’s no wonder brides have been known to take months off from their regular jobs just to plan their weddings. When it comes to weddings there are usually more things to do [...]

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, [...]

Missing out on Karachi in the winter

Sammiosa — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:59:15 +0000

Its that time of year once again; wedding season in Pakistan. And I’m missing it. (Not that I’m missing it; if you know what I mean). For the first time in about 12 years I’m not in Karachi in December. Today is the first real day of snow in Toronto, and it feels strange gazing [...]
