Ricky and Bind

Surrey, British Columbia

Q: How did you meet? 

Ricky: We met in 2008 on MSN Messenger, through one of my best friends, and it was truly love at first sight. We were very young and we didn’t exactly know what dating was at the time however, we knew we liked each other and that there was something very special about one another. It was a lot of late-night phone calls and rushing home after school to talk to one another on the computer during that time. As the years went on the distance became a factor, we both tried to explore the world, different jobs and different people but could never go more than a week without talking to one another. We always liked one another and that has never changed. We have the same spark since day one, it’s impossible to describe, but it feels so right. In 2018, we connected again and instantly knew this was it. We were made for one another. We were soulmates. 

Q: What do you love most about one another? 

Ricky: My favorite thing is the way Bind looks at me, she always has my back. 

Bind: I really love how supportive, loving and trustworthy Ricky is.

Q: Could you share your proposal story? 

Bind: A decade after meeting for the first time, Ricky took us to the most magical little village nestled in Switzerland. On December 21, 2019, on top of a snow-covered mountain in the Swiss Alps, my life completely changed in the most remarkable way possible.



Q: Can you describe your outfits?

Bind: I always knew that I wanted to go for a non-traditional look however, I wasn’t too sure what color I wanted to wear on the big day. When I walked into Wellgroomed, Dave and his team did a phenomenal job showing me around their beautiful store and catering to my taste. When I saw this rose gold lengha on display in the hallway, I knew it was the one, without even trying it on or looking at any other stores. Once I had finalized this lengha, we started building Ricky’s look and color scheme to compliment my look. Both our looks were very bold and edgy however, we feel they meshed well together and depicted our personal styles well. 

Who were the stand-out vendors that made your wedding more beautiful?

Bind: Hands down one of the best vendors we had for our wedding was Inderjit and Raman from A Master Media. They were INCREDIBLE! Not only are they amazingly talented photographers who have an eye for every detail, they are beyond accommodating. From helping me with maneuvering my lengha, fixing my hair, to making sure we had food when we were doing long photoshoots and incorporating our every wish no matter how obscure. If you are thinking about booking them, DO NOT HESITATE! Also, Aria Convention Center has the best food and venue. We used them for live catering at home and our reception, and they do a great job every time. Pink Paisley Decor did a phenomenal job making my vision come to life and accommodated each last-minute change I had. DJ Diablo of Lucid Entertainment along with Elegance Rentals also did a remarkable job every night, truly making it a week we will never forget. 



Q: Where did you honeymoon?

Due to the ongoing pandemic we didn’t want to go too far, so we decided to explore our own backyard and took a quick trip to Oak Bay on Vancouver Island. It was the perfect destination to unwind and reflect on the events of our wedding week. 

Q: What are your goals as a couple?

Our goals as a couple are quite simple, just to always be happy. Wake up every morning together smiling and go to bed smiling. That sounds very simple, but there are many factors in a day that can act as hurdles. We know as soon as we see one another, both our days are instantly better and we believe that is what truly matters. 

Q: What are the strengths of your marriage? 

 

We believe there are a few pillars that make our marriage strong. Being able to talk about anything with the common goal of finding a solution and not assigning blame.
