wedding of Toronto-based couple Suneel Khanna and Carl Wolter was scheduled for June this year, and loved ones from four different countries were expected to attend.
Wolter is from the U.S., so their wedding would mark the beginning of Wolter’s immigration process, too.“Originally, we were going to get married in a very intricate ceremony in a church, combining my Hindu background and Carl’s spirituality,” Khanna said.
But when the novel coronavirus pandemic hit, their plans changed. Not only could Wolter’s family no longer cross the border to Canada, but the idea of a lavish, large gathering wasn’t in the cards, either.There was much uncertainty about when — and how — they could get married.
