Location: St. Lawrence Hall | Guests: 150 | Date: November 24, 2012
Kathleen Killen, a 34-year-old owner of a PR marketing firm, wasn’t sure about Robinder Kahlon, a 40-year-old high school teacher, when she first saw his online dating profile. For one, she says, “Rob had one of those really dreaded pictures of himself in the washroom mirror.” After a quick conversation, she agreed to a first date, but continued to postpone for another month while she was working overseas. When they finally met up for coffee, Kathleen was pleasantly surprised: “I thought, ‘Holy cow, this guy is handsome!’” The couple quickly forged a strong connection, so much so that they were living together after five months and engaged a month after that. For the proposal, Rob filled the apartment with scattered tulips, Emmylou Harris tunes and Ethiopian cuisine—all of Kathleen’s favourite things. When it came to choosing a wedding venue, they needed an all-in-one space that could combine her shabby-chic style with his love of the ultra modern. Enter the historic St. Lawrence Hall, which offered an open space that allowed the couple to get creative with a bright and festive Indian decor. Kathleen calls the finished product the perfect “hybrid Indian wedding.”
