Leala mentioned her “beautiful single daughters” and ended up being invited along — helping cover the costs of Estée's flight from Montreal, Canada, and Sophia's from California, US, in January 2025.
Hewak, a graphic novelist and actor, had been virtually chatting with the groom on a group chat for her art portrait project and discovered he was not only getting married in two weeks, but had “lots of handsome cousins” attending the big event.
Estée flew on a six-hour flight from Montreal, while her mom flew on a longer flight from Toronto.
Of her mom, Estée, a part-time social media content creator, told SWNS: “She's a very involved mom.
The family, along with the girls’ stepdad, Donald Hewak, 61, decided to make a vacation of the entire wedding trip.
