one of the most interesting and beautiful parts for me to watch were the punkwa and dukhna ceremonies. the first is said to rid any evil spirits that may interfere with the couple's happiness. adil's mom placed a nut in her hand and encircled donna and adil, then whisked the nut away, four times in all directions north, south, east and west. she then placed her knuckles on either sides of their heads to remove any future suffering from their lives. she then placed her hands on either side of her own head and cracked her knuckles to vanquish it all. it's said that the louder the crack, the greater the happiness.

it reminds me of that leonard cohen line, the famous one about how we all have cracks, and that's how the light gets in. it makes me realize that even though it might appear that things are as different as different can be, that the world is so vast and people are so different with different backgrounds and traditions, that in the end we're all kind of talking about the same thing.this day was truly something great to be a part of. we hope you enjoy the photos and can feel the light and all the cracks that make it so.donna adil niagara vineyard wedding photography jenn dave stark
