NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh appears to have tied the knot with fiancée Gurkiran Kaur, according to a post on his Twitter account.
鈥淚t鈥檚 official!鈥 Singh Friday morning. The tweet included a photo of Singh, 38, and Kaur, 27, sitting together on the floor of what appears to be a Sikh temple, with many others sitting around them. The two are dressed in formal wedding attire. Kaur鈥檚 hands are decorated in bridal henna, while Singh has a ceremonial dagger, called a kirpan, in his lap.
The two previously announced that their marriage would be a two-part affair, with a wedding ceremony held in Brampton, Ont. on Feb. 4, followed by a private ceremony in Mexico on Feb. 19.
The wedding announcement marks the end of a whirlwind public courtship for the couple. They posted photos taken at a 鈥渟pecial occasion鈥 on social media last December, prompting many to congratulate them on their engagement 鈥 which they denied.
The event was described by some as a pre-engagement ceremony called a Rokka, which indicates that the two are effectively off the marriage market and where the two meet each other鈥檚 families.
Singh鈥檚 press secretary called the event a 鈥渃elebration of the families meeting for the first time officially.鈥
They announced their official engagement a month later, on Jan. 16. 鈥淪he said yes,鈥 Singh tweeted, along with a ring emoji and photos of him getting down on one knee in front of Kaur.
She said yes
