From a University Library to a Wedding on Her Family’s Three-Generation Farm

Simrin first noticed Sajan in the library at Trinity Western. “He was outspoken, funny, and always smiling — his energy was impossible to ignore.” Sajan had noticed her too: “Her confidence. Her energy. And the passion she had for the things that mattered most.” They didn’t speak that day, but the next time they crossed paths, Sajan asked her to grab coffee. From there, things moved quickly.

They started travelling together early on, building a relationship around new places, shared experiences and plenty of laughter.

“We love that we can laugh together, support each other through tough times, and always find new ways to make life exciting.”

Not long after, Simrin walked in South Asian Fashion Week, where both of their families met for the first time.

Then came Crescent Beach. Sajan told Simrin they had dinner plans nearby, but when they arrived early, he suggested a walk. “It was windy, and I really didn’t want to,” Simrin says. “But he gently convinced me to go anyway.” At the far end of the mostly empty beach, he got down on one knee. “It was everything I’d ever envisioned — personal, private, and perfectly intimate.” A photographer had been quietly capturing it from a distance. “The best part is that we can look back at those photos and remember exactly how it felt.”

Wedding planning took about a year, and one decision mattered most: the location. They chose one of Simrin’s family farms in the Lower Mainland, where her family has been farming for three generations. “All of the lunch and breakfast was served inside our greenhouses as this really engaged our guests to touch, smell and feel all of the beautiful products and herbs that were growing and everything was just so fresh.”

The farm itself became part of the experience, with guests walking through the greenhouses surrounded by fresh produce, herbs and flowers. Even the tractors and equipment became part of the setting. On the wedding day, Simrin’s dad, Ron, surprised her with a pathway lined in fresh flowers for guests to walk through, which became one of her favourite details of the entire day.

The couple also decided early on that they didn’t want a weeklong celebration. “We both agreed that we didn’t want a weeklong wedding, as we wanted everyone to enjoy each event without feeling exhausted by the time the reception came around.”

For the wedding itself, Simrin wanted something elevated and timeless, with inspiration drawn from Bridgerton. “My inspiration came from Bridgerton — I wanted it to feel regal, but still modern,” she says. She chose white because “it made me feel strong and graceful. Exactly how I wanted to feel walking into that day.” Sajan’s look was equally considered, with full beading and pearl detailing throughout. “It really was a masterpiece,” Simrin says. “I wanted us both to feel styled, not just me.”

Their advice now is simple: “Trust each other completely, knowing that you’re partners in everything you do. Keep the fun. Stay curious. And never stop choosing each other.”

From a quiet moment in a university library to a wedding on her family farm, Simrin and Sajan’s story has always been shaped by the places that mattered to them.
