GOLDBERG m@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2005-10-01 published
Lucinda BINGHAM and Aaron
GOLDBERG -- Match
By Judith Tenenbaum, Saturday, October 1, 2005, Page M4
Lucinda BINGHAM and Aaron
GOLDBERG thought it would be great
while it lasted. But as it turned out, not even the Atlantic
Ocean could douse their sparks.
She was from the University of Sheffield and he from the University
of British Columbia when they met in September, 1998, as exchange
students at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In different
disciplines, they seemed unlikely to reconnect. But that November,
when Ms. BINGHAM was wending through the beachfront student housing
with its open keg parties, she drifted into Mr.
GOLDBERG's home.
"He was celebrating his birthday, didn't know why I was there,
but was happy I turned up," she recalls. The theme, "An Evening
at the Lab," had the boisterous gathering imbibing test-tube
shooters. Caught up in the festivities, Mr.
GOLDBERG affectionately
pinched Ms.
BINGHAM's cheek. After an instinctive retaliatory
slap, she apologetically offered her number when he asked for it.
They were soon an item, but romance was overshadowed by the reality
of each returning home. "We made it clear that we would enjoy
the time we had in California and not put pressure on each other,"
Ms. BINGHAM says.
Their year in the sun ended in June, 1999. As a last hurrah,
they motored up the coast to Vancouver, across Canada to Toronto
and down to Washington, where the Friends bid adieu.
The phone lines burned in the interval before each returned to
fourth-year university, but it was Mr.
GOLDBERG who blinked first.
"I said, 'We'll be together until we are apart, until we decide
we'd rather be with someone else, or it's too heart-wrenching
to be together [but apart],' " he says. "But Friends calling
every day... it wasn't the right category."
The next couple of years included reciprocal visits, and both
became focused on pursuing their master's degrees. When Ms.
BINGHAM
completed her year of film Theory at the University of Nottingham,
she joined Mr.
GOLDBERG in Manhattan, where he was taking media
studies at N.Y.U. By August, 2001, they had their own apartment
in Brooklyn, but she had returned to England to obtain a U.S. working visa.
Suddenly, on 9/11, as Mr.
GOLDBERG watched the maelstrom from
his rooftop, the couple rethought their priorities. "There was
no hesitation in my mind. I was going to New York on the next plane," Ms.
BINGHAM says.
Clearly, Mr.
GOLDBERG was overwhelmed by her courage and commitment.
"Lucinda made a big sacrifice coming, and not only the timing,
but because North America is my territory," he says.
By March 2003, they had relocated to Toronto, where he began
work for Brunico Communications, later moving to the ad agency
Axmith McIntyre Wicht. Ms.
BINGHAM, waiting for her permanent
residency, volunteered at the Paper Things boutique in support
of the National Ballet and for various film festivals. "I guess
when you are not able to work, you indulge yourself in the things
you enjoy," she says with a laugh.
Mr. GOLDBERG's quest for a unique proposal spot drew him to the
Ice Hotel near Quebec City. Not to everyone's taste or temperature,
it is rebuilt annually from 5,000 tons of ice, with 16-foot ceilings,
decor and furniture all fashioned from ice.
"It was freezing," Mr.
GOLDBERG admits, but "dogsledding and
dinner in the lodge were nicer than expected." On January 17,
2004, as they snuggled in sleeping bags on a mattress of deer
pelts, Mr.
GOLDBERG proffered his own piece of ice.
The proposal gave more than a passing nod to family tradition:
The ring had been his mother's, passed to her from his grandmother,
and it was presented in an original box from the jewellery store
his grandfather once owned.
Invitations to their London wedding specified cocktail attire
and dancing shoes. "Lucinda is a citizen of the world. Not only
did her bridesmaids live in different cities -- they lived in
different time zones," Mr.
GOLDBERG says.
"It was complicated," Ms.
BINGHAM says, "so I told them to wear
a little black Sex and the City dress, because everyone has a
little black favourite."
A convert to Judaism, she supplied the 109 attendees with a program
explaining the modified Jewish ceremony. Members of the wedding
party held the chuppah, designed by Mr.
GOLDBERG's aunt, Hong
Kong artist Lori
ORMUT-
DURBIN.
The couple were united by Rabbi
Laura JANNER-
KLAUSNER and co-officiant Rabbi Matthew
DURBIN,
Mr. GOLDBERG's cousin.
The reception patisserie had a Seventh Avenue flavour thanks
to friend and groomsman Barry
GOLDMAN, who toted the wedding
cake and four frozen cheesecakes from the Carnegie Deli in his
luggage.
Mrs. GOLDBERG, 28, a senior publicist at Allied Advertising,
works on their DreamWorks account, and Mr.
GOLDBERG, 27, inspired
by family success, has begun his own entrepreneurial pursuits.
"We reached the pivotal moment and then we figured out how we'd
be able to make it possible," he says. "Our relationship was
more maintaining what we had, instead of building what wasn't
there yet."

GOSLING m@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2005-02-05 published
Amy OICLES and Ronald
GOSLING -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,
February 5, 2005 - Page M6
When planning a wedding, some couples want frothy and romantic.
Others go for the ultimate in elegance, fun or fantasy. Ronald
James GOSLING and Amy Lynn
OICLES sought a singular event that
reflected their adventuresome, roving spirits.
After all, Mr.
GOSLING, a Toronto musician, had spent months
over the years touring the United States with his band, Weirdstone,
and as a solo artist. Ms.
OICLES, meanwhile, ventured farther
afield, making forays from her native San Francisco to Alaska,
Laos, Malaysia, Nepal and Thailand, where she taught English.
So theirs was a marriage on the move -- on a tour bus.
"Everyone has a different idea about what is romantic, but we
wanted the unusual," Mr.
GOSLING says.
"Ron wanted to get married in motion because we both wandered
around so much," Ms.
OICLES, 34, adds, "and we have this dream
of crossing the U.S. in a Winnebago."
On the afternoon of January 23, a 40-foot luxury Canada Coach
pulled up to their apartment in the Bathurst and St. Clair neighbourhood.
Early arrivals decorated the chapel on wheels, cramming in food,
drink, the cake and a slew of musical instruments.
The bride and groom, outfitted respectively in traditional white
and a $28 thrift-store suit, boarded the bus, which then navigated
snowy Toronto streets to collect Friends and family from homes
and hotels.
"I was nervous for a fair chunk of it," Mr.
GOSLING, 37, says.
"I'd never been married before, and the storage bins hit my head,
but the danger just amplified the wedding."
With officiant Sarah
BUNNETT-
GIBSON balancing the bumps and curves,
the "I do's" took place somewhere between Main and Danforth,
and Greenwood and Gerrard. Passengers defied double-digit negative
temperatures to tour key Toronto attractions -- the Distillery
District, Royal Ontario Museum and the C.N. Tower -- as onlookers
rubbernecked the wedding assemblage. At Harbourfront, the celebrants
feted the coincidental birthday of the bridegroom's father with
sparklers. Aboard the bus, seven guitarists and a toy keyboard
that sounded like a cathedral organ heightened the festivities.
Six hours later, the tour ended at the couple's apartment, where
Mr. GOSLING's friend Howard
BERTOLO tickled the ivories into
the night.
The hardy entourage braved a blizzard the next afternoon to hit
the dance floor at the Chick'n'deli, where the groom's father,
jazz trombonist Len
GOSLING, wound up the group with his iconic
Climax Jazz Band, a fixture there since it opened in 1983.
The wedding's rolling venue was particularly appropriate since
Ms. OICLES actually worked as a tour-bus driver in San Francisco
in 1996 during one of her returns from her international wanderings.
"I love driving people around," she says. "But there was a lot
of pressure. If anything goes wrong, it is always the driver's
fault."
For seven years, she indulged her nomadic urge after graduating
in 1993 from the University of California in Santa Barbara.
She hung up her backpack to study psychology at San Francisco
State University, and by 2003 she was working in the public-school
system while also tutoring a student with Asperger's syndrome.
It was during this sojourn home that she met Mr.
GOSLING on April
Fool's Day, 2003, in a bar in Fairfax, California, where he was
playing guitar.
"She struck me as terrific," he says, "and we made a date for
the next day."
Several months of sun, surf and sparks made the two a pair. "Ron
is incredibly funny. His music, sense of adventure and high level
of honesty make him unusual," she says.
Mr. GOSLING plaintively admitted being homesick and missing snow,
however, just when she was ready for the road again. "I was itching
to get out of the Bay Area," Ms.
OICLES says. "It had become
expensive and everyone was working with no time to relax."
With a stop at the Grand Canyon, the duo drove across the country,
pulling into Toronto in August.
Mr. GOSLING, who frequently took on work as a house painter ("for
the bread part"), is now the superintendent in the couple's upscale
apartment building. When not nursing its cranky boiler, he practises:
guitar, piano and trumpet. "I'm kind of a Jack of many [instruments],
but the bass is my forte. I play on demos or do a gig if someone
needs a sub. I just love music."
Despite the new responsibilities, the couple's travels continue,
as they cross the border every few months to make sure Ms.
OICLES
stays on the right side of Canada's immigration laws.
"We go for weekends in Buffalo and Niagara Falls," Ms.
GOSLING
says. "It is really ridiculous, but we do what we can to stay
legal."
