Shiyana Veerasingam
Bridesmaid
Sameera and Shiyana met in kindergarten and instantly became inseparable. Years later, in grade five, Sameera started school a few days late - and by fate, it was Shiyana who was sent to pick her up from the office. Destiny struck again in university, where they ended up at the same school, living together in Waterloo and creating countless memories.

Shivani Kaup

Chin Na Tu
Bridesmaid
Chin Na met the bride in their second year of university - through their partners, who are cousins. Living just one floor apart, they quickly chose to become like sisters, in a city so far from home. After graduating, both remained close and found comfort in each other’s presence.
Hena Habeeb
Bridesmaid
Hena met Sameera in her last year of undergrad, when they were placed in the same apartment and quickly became like family. Always checking in and looking out for eachother, Hena became an older sister figure. They lived together, did everything side by side, and have remained close ever since.
