Ernesto H. Forcadilla and Numa Qadri were joined by family and friends at a wedding ceremony on March 19, 2022, held at the Paradise Banquet and Convention Centre at 7601 Jane Street, Concord, Ontario.

The ceremony was a non-denominational wedding with six bridesmaids and seven groomsmen, composed of classmates from university, family, and the military.

The wedding was postponed for two years, but the two families managed to hold it together with lots of good food, desserts and fruits, music and dance, as well as fun and laughter.

Ernie is the youngest among four siblings of Josie and Ernesto Forcadilla, Sr. while Numa is the eldest of two siblings of Amir and Farzana Qadri. Ernie and Numa graduated from University of Toronto and University of Guelph and currently work with the federal government of Canada.
