Before the wedding bells, came the whistles.
And instead of a single wedding carriage getting him to his bride, on Chris Drew’s big day, he counted on a lineup of the most powerful carriages around.
On Saturday (June 22), he and his five groomsmen headed to Scarborough’s Guildwood Inn, where he would tie the knot with his soon to be wife, Farah Tamachi.
But there’s another love story at play here.

Drew and his bride planned a traditional Indian wedding and typically the groom relies on a horse to get to his venue. In this case, he put his trust in a 4000 — horsepower GO train.
“Of course I would take the train — it’s not even a question,” said Drew, a Toronto urban planner.
“I couldn’t picture myself getting to my wedding any other way and I didn’t want to knock my turban off my head coming in and out of a vehicle.”
Drew has been a transit advocate and a train enthusiast his whole life.
When most kids would ask to go to the movies or Disneyland, he wanted to watch trains go by. Growing up, he took transit everywhere he went — determined to make sure his wedding day was no different.
