Although the couple were both born in India, they were from very different worlds when they married. Mathur had come to Canada with his parents in 1969 and grew up in Toronto, while his wife was raised in India.

Sadly, their worlds collided.

When P.E.I. met Mumbai

The Jewish bride wore a sari. The Sikh groom stepped on a glass to seal the deal. Where else to hold this wedding but the epitome of WASP Toronto — Casa Loma?

Gurbir Jolly and Jessica Poole, who were born worlds apart — he in Mumbai and she in Charlottetown, P.E.I. — began married life last Sunday in a fusion wedding surrounded by 175 of their family and closest friends.

It was in the intimacy of a graduate class in Italian Renaissance history at York University, where both are PhD students in humanities and English, that the couple met in September 2003.

Initially, they would meet after class in a group with other students. Soon they were meeting on their own. By the following spring they were a couple and they moved into a Cabbagetown flat together last fall.

\"Things happened very quickly. I realized I was in love very early on,\" says Poole, 26, who had had no intention of rushing into a relationship, having just ended an eight-year liaison with her high school sweetheart.

Jolly, 33, had dated only Indian women before meeting Poole. He was equally smitten.

\"Jessica is such an open-hearted and beautiful person. When she speaks to you, you have her full attention in the most sincere way. Her eyes don't drift.\"

There was, they say, never a popping-the-question moment. Their conversations this year just veered from \"If we get married\" to \"When we are married.\"

Both their families were supportive from the beginning — something that may have to do with the fact that they're also of mixed-faith backgrounds.

Poole's mother is the Jewish daughter of parents who emigrated from Hungary, while her father was raised in the United Church. Jolly's late father was Sikh, while his mother was raised Catholic in India.

In 2001, Poole's father, a musician, played tuba on the soundtrack for Monsoon Wedding, a movie about a boisterous Punjabi wedding. Poole saw the movie, one of her favourites, three times. \"It was almost a foreshadowing of what was going to happen in my life.\"

Jolly's mother hosted a traditional Punjabi sangeet, an occasion to sing and dance, where women apply decorative mehendi in preparation for the wedding. Poole's grandfather hosted an engagement party with Indian food and Indian-jazz fusion music.

At Casa Loma, a musician playing a dhol (drum) led the bharat, or traditional Punjabi marriage procession.

In the castle's conservatory, the ceremony took place under a mandip or huppah, a marriage canopy decorated with flowers, a custom in both Indian and Jewish traditions. The rabbi read from the Song of Songs; Jolly's sister Deepika read the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.

A cocktail reception later featured mango martinis and 300 freshly shucked oysters flown in from the east coast.

The sit-down dinner featured Cornish hen and all the guests took part in a 30-minute horah, a celebratory Jewish dance.

\"I'm still a Bombay boy at heart and she's still an Islander,\" says Jolly, who is planning a honeymoon for December in Mexico.

\"But we really never felt that being together meant compromising who we are.\"

What began as a dream marriage, complete with a wedding fit for royalty and a promising future, quickly turned into a nightmare for Viresh Mathur.

It may have escalated even more if not for help from South Asian Family Support Services, said the 41-year-old financial consultant and insurance broker, who spoke openly about the trials and tribulations of his ill-fated arranged marriage.

The crux of the problem was that life in Canada didn't measure up to the expectations of his Indian wife, Mathur said. He comes from a long line of distinguished lawyers, and she expected that her new husband enjoyed the same prominence, privilege and wealth as his family back in India.

"When faced with reality that the family fortune wasn't in the cards, she got violent ," Mathur said frankly.

Although the couple were both born in India, they were from very different worlds when they married. Mathur had come to Canada with his parents in 1969 and grew up in Toronto, while his wife was raised in India.

Sadly, their worlds collided.

"The relationship was very difficult," Mathur said of the eight-month marriage, adding it got so bad, police were eventually called to intervene. To help them resolve their domestic problems, police took the couple to the South Asian support group for counselling.

Turning to strangers to resolve family matters isn't how most South Asians deal with trouble at home, Mathur said. But going to SAFSS, one of 200 agencies supported by the United Way of Greater Toronto, was the best thing that could have happened.

"Counselling helped bring issues into the open," Mathur said, adding he'd hoped their marital problems could be sorted out. "Unfortunately, we couldn't reconcile our differences. Ultimately, my wife was charged with assault. After that, we separated and that led to divorce."

She later returned to India.

It didn't save the marriage, but counselling made a huge difference for Mathur, who said SAFSS was a much-needed safety net when he needed it most.

It's why he made a commitment to work with the agency and get the message out to others in the South Asian community that help is there if they need it. For the past six years, he's also been a member of the United Way's South Asian Advisory Council, raising awareness about programs and services.

"I'm reaching out to show members of the South Asian community they are not alone and there's no shame in seeking help," he said.

Mathur's commitment to the cause goes beyond volunteer work. The owner of Blue Umbrella Financial, he's a long-time United Way donor. This year, he's pledged $10,000, an endowment to be paid in instalments to the United Way's Tomorrow Fund.


Without United Way support, "my life would have been very different," Mathur said.

The goal for this year's United Way campaign is $94.5 million.
