Over the last six years, we built a life together. I'm so proud of what we've accomplished together and the life we created. Having you by my side makes everything better. You're my everything, and being chosen by you is the honour of my lifetime.

What an honour it is to stand beside such a beautiful couple on the most important day of their lives. We're all gathered here today to celebrate not just a wedding, but a beautiful love story. Shima and Matt's story is one of fate and divine intervention. God brought these two back together. Shima, you look absolutely stunning tonight. Today, you stand here glowing, not just because you are a beautiful bride, but because you found the person who makes you smile bigger than ever before. You are one of the most caring, loving, and loyal people I have ever met. You have a way of pouring your heart into everything you do, and that includes loving the people in your life. So, Matt, consider yourself a lucky guy, and please always take care of our Shima because she has always taken care of everyone else. She wholeheartedly deserves the world, and I know you will give her that.

Rohan and Lava have been together for nearly 10 years, and in that time, Lava has become such an important part of our lives. From the very beginning, she has felt like family. She has brought warmth, grace, and such a natural sense of belonging into our home. We embrace her not as a daughter-in-law but as a daughter. Truly, she fits so seamlessly into our lives that sometimes I forget there was ever a time she wasn't a part of it. Lava, thank you for the love you show Rohan, for your strength, your kindness, and for becoming his partner in every sense. You are a blessing in our life.

Simon, from our first date, I knew that was the last first date I'd be going on. You are my favourite person, my calm and steady. You are so wise, thoughtful, funny, loyal, handsome, and caring. I have found my other half in you. You make my world so beautiful. I love you so much, and I am so grateful for you. I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together. I know it's going to be a beautiful one.

with every fiber of my being, in this life and the life hereafter.

Aamir, when I was young, I used to watch The Wizard of Oz almost every weekend. My favourite part of that movie was when Dorothy woke up in Oz, and the world was in colour for the first time. Meeting you ten years ago was like seeing colour for the first time. And every day since has been bright, wonderful, and colourful. It has been my greatest joy to get to grow up alongside you, see the wonderful man you have become. We’ve come a long way from being two lovesick teenagers, but in some ways I think we're still very much the same. You are still the same boy who lights up every room with laughter. You have the same beautiful eyes, striking intelligence, and the kindest soul. You are the light of my life. You are the colour. Wedding vows traditionally state until death do his part. But I know there's no feasible way for which we could ever truly part. Because every part of me and it was made up of every part of you, to hum in perfect harmony together. And I vow to always add extra milk to your coffee, so it's just the way you like it. But most importantly, I vow to take each step of this life with you hand in hand, proudly as your friend, wife, and partner.

To my new husband, thank you for everything that you are. Tommy, you are incredibly kind. You're selfless. You make friends with anyone, and you always see the best in people. Every day, you make me want to be a better person, and you're truly everything that I've ever prayed for and more. You are not only my husband, but you're my best friend, my greatest blessing, and I'm so excited to start this new chapter together.

Today is a special day for our family as we gather to celebrate the wedding of our oldest son, Rohin, and his beautiful bride, Arshiya. Together, Rohin and Arshiya compliment each other beautifully. The love, patience, and respect for one another shine through in everything they do.

To my new husband, thank you for everything that you are. Tommy, you are incredibly kind. You're selfless. You make friends with anyone, and you always see the best in people. Every day, you make me want to be a better person, and you're truly everything that I've ever prayed for and more. You are not only my husband, but you're my best friend, my greatest blessing, and I'm so excited to start this new chapter together.

My dearest Matthew, my bridegroom, the love of my life, my forever love and partner to the Kingdom of God. Your kindness, my dearest, was one of the first things that drew me to you and made me fall in love with you.

Before I met Jenn, I thought I had things pretty much figured out. I was doing fine. I had routines. I had opinions. But then Jenn came along, and gently, without forcing it, she changed me, you know. She taught me patience. She taught me how to listen, like truly listen. She showed me how powerful kindness can be. And she helped me understand what it means to show up for someone every day with your whole heart. And somewhere along the ways, I realized I wasn't just falling in love with her. I was also becoming someone better just by being with her. Jenn, I'm without a doubt a better man because of you. So it goes without saying that I look forward to sharing the rest of my days with you, learning, laughing, and growing with you while tackling whatever the world throws at us.

Aaron, you are my home. You make me feel safe, protected, and deeply loved, and I promise to do the same for you. Our ability to be completely and utterly ourselves in front of one another is something I truly cherish.

Andrew, when I first saw you at Jenna's back in 2014, I knew there was something special about you. Little did I know what the world had in store for us. Although 2014 may not have been our year, I could not imagine the last six and a half years without you. From reconnecting as just friends—according to you—to dating long distance, living through the pandemic, and moving in together, we have had our fair share of ups and downs. But no matter the situation, we always come back together stronger than before.
