Wedding Day

Summer

There’s something special about celebrating our wedding in a place where Greek and Persian histories crossed paths for thousands of years. It felt like the perfect place to bring our two cultures and all our favourite people together.

Our Wedding

Our Story

Our paths crossed in a very modern way by swiping right. Our first date almost didn’t happen because we both thought we had been stood up! Niusha went to the place next door to the restaurant we had agreed on, while Kosta was waiting in the right spot lolThankfully we found each other before either of us gave up and that story became an ice breaker for many more dates.When Niusha moved to Ontario, Kosta joined her a few months later and we began our new chapter together.We now live in Mississauga with our precious dog, Niko, who runs the house without paying the bills.

Our favourite third wheel and a very important part of our little family. He won’t be joining us in Greece, but he’s given his approval!
