How They Met | Although Bridget and Behrouz grew up close to each other , the first time they met was through mutual friends during university . Once school was finished and both lived abroad , they made a point of keeping in touch and staying friends . Twelve years later , the stars aligned : both were single and living in the same city . Coincidentally , they matched at 99 per cent on an online dating site before deciding to let their friendship evolve into something more .
The Ceremony | Hotel Nelligan in the Old Port of Montreal provided the ideal location for Bridget and Behrouz ’ s simple ceremony . Four groomsmen and bridemaids walked down the aisle in pairs , followed by the flower girl and the couple ’ s old pug , Badger , as the ring bearer , before they recited their own vows .
The Reception | It was important that the reception reflect two of Bridget and Behrouz ’ s core values : great food and casual entertainment . First , the newlyweds shared the first dance ; then , four speeches were given ( one in between each course ), followed by the bride and her father performing a jaw-dropping mash up dance . Instead of having a cake , the couple opted to serve dessert from a midnight snack bar stocked with macarons ( the bride ’ s favourite ) and poutine ( everyone ’ s favourite ).
