Making it to 50 years of marriage is an incredible milestone that should be celebrated. And that’s exactly what Vijay and Manil did this weekend.
M&J’s kids went above and beyond to plan the ultimate surprise party at Calgary’s downtown Indian restaurant, Calcutta Cricket Club. The night featured incredible food, heart-warming speeches, a very fun shoe game and of course, lots and lots of dancing (shoutout to DJ Rush for some sick tunes).
It was so incredibly wholesome to see so many people show up to celebrate 50 years of marriage of this wonderful couple. Here are some of my favourite shots of the night:
