Same-sex married couples rejoice
Ruling recognizes union of couples married in 2001; others rush
to wed
By Estanislao
OZIEWICZ
Wednesday,
June 11, 2003 - Page A4
Toronto -- For Kevin
BOURASSA, 45, and Joe
VARNELL, 33, becoming
Canada's first same-sex married couple is bittersweet, even as
advocates call their union a world first.
"Gee, I wish my mom could have seen this," Mr.
VARNELL said.
"Because of what the court did in Ontario today no mother will
ever again not be able to dance at her son's wedding. That's
a wonderful thing."
With his "lawfully wedded husband" at his side, Mr.
VARNELL said
they planned to celebrate by going home, popping a bottle of
champagne and cuddling with their cat.
"If you forgive me, I never want to see any of you in my living
room again," he said.
The pioneering couple, who were wed on January 14, 2001, and
other same-sex couples seeking to be married in civil ceremonies
were speaking at a news conference after a historic Ontario Court
of Appeal ruling that they have a constitutional right to marriage.
"Canada gets the gold medal for same-sex marriage around the
world," said Trent
MORRIS, lawyer for the Metropolitan Community
Church of Toronto.
"I would like to congratulate them for being the first same-sex
couple married not only in Canada but, as Mr.
MORRIS indicated,
the first same-sex couple in the world," said Cynthia
PETERSON,
lawyer for Equality for Gays And Lesbians Everywhere, a national
advocacy organization for gays and lesbians.
The Netherlands became the first country in the world to legalize
marriage for gays and lesbians on April 1, 2001. This year, Belgium
became the second country to open marriage to same-sex couples.
Unlike its northern neighbour, Belgium did not allow such couples
to adopt children.
Mr. VARNELL, an e-commerce consultant, and Mr.
BOURASSA, a former
bank manager who is now a full-time advocate for marriage equality,
were wed at the Metropolitan Community Church before the Dutch
law was changed, using an ancient -- and legally valid -- Christian
tradition of publication of banns, which amount to a notice of
intent to marry. This allowed them to avoid having to get a marriage
licence issued by the city.
The hitch, however, has been that whether a marriage in Ontario
is preceded by civil licence or by banns, it has to be registered
by the province's registrar-general.
Yesterday's court ruling not only ordered the City of Toronto
to issue licences to same-sex couples but also told the province
to register same-sex marriages. The city complied immediately,
and by late yesterday morning had issued licences to several
couples, including Ontario Crown attorney Michael
LESHNER, 55,
who a few hours later married his partner of two decades, Michael
STARK, 45, in front of Mr. Justice John
HAMILTON of the Ontario
Superior Court.
"This is first and foremost a Canadian love story," said Mr.
LESHNER, who has been a thorn in the side of the Ontario government
for years.
"This is why people come to Canada, because they marvel at our
values, and we've sent an unmistakable message that love can
conquer all, the love of two good men can defeat everything....
It [homophobia] is dead legally as of today."
The joy and optimism of homosexual groups was tempered by the
Ontario government's reluctance to embrace the ruling immediately
without reservation.
Attorney-General Norman
STERLING told the legislature that he
was waiting to hear whether the federal government would appeal
the decision to the Supreme Court. Although municipalities and
provinces administer marriages, the federal government is responsible
for defining marriage.
"We will, of course, follow what the court says in the decision
and follow that to the letter of the law," Mr.
STERLING said.
Among those celebrating yesterday were Joyce
BARNETT and Alison
KEMPER, who also picked up their marriage licences at Toronto
City Hall and will marry in July, 2004. The women, both of whom
are ordained in the Anglican Church, have been together since
Their two children were delighted. "I knew that nobody could
say I didn't have a family," said Robbie, 11, who was born to
Ms. KEMPER. "
Canada has finally figured out it's unfair to deny
this to anybody."
His sister Hannah, 17, said she has grown up to find that she
is heterosexual. She said she is indebted to her parents for
bringing her up "where it's okay to be what you want to be."
The court ruling did not sit well with some religious organizations,
including the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.
Evangelical
Fellowship of Canada president Bruce
CELEMENGER said
the court has fundamentally redefined marriage.
"It is not an appropriate use of the Charter to redefine pre-existing
social, cultural and religious institutions," he said.

65 years and counting
Two Toronto brothers, their little sister and their spouses celebrate
an incredible 65-plus years of marriage
By Andrea GORDON,
Family
Issues
Writer
Jennie GRUDI and her brothers Joseph and Harry
SPENCER have always
shared a lot. Their Ukrainian heritage, many a Christmas Eve
feast and a passion for music and dancing.
But how's this for a family tradition? As of last week, all three
have been married for 65 years.
For Jennie, 85, and her husband, it's actually been 66. Their
anniversary was two weeks ago. Then last Wednesday, Joseph, 89,
and his wife celebrated 65 years. Harry, 87, and his beloved
Margaret hit the 65-year mark in June.
"I think this is a pretty good story," Jennie says, smiling at
her husband Stephen, 90, as the six long-time love birds gathered
around the kitchen table in the
GRUDIs'
Etobicoke home.
No doubt about it. Why should celebrity breakups get all the
ink? Brad and Jennifer, Nicole and Tom indeed. Where are the
paparazzi when the really big marriage stories come along?
The
Queen sent a letter of congratulations to the
GRUDIs. So
did the Prime Minister, the Governor General and Ontario's premier.
The least they could do. It's not often you get to extend Happy
65th Anniversary wishes. You have to look long and hard to even
find a card for the occasion.
Between them, the three couples have almost 200 years of marriage.
Eight children, 21 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
In the period they've been married, Elizabeth Taylor has done
it eight times. Courtship has moved from the soda fountain to
the computer keyboard. Romance is more likely to blossom to the
strains of hip-hop than big band.
But the secrets to long, strong marriages endure.
"We could always go to each other and talk anything out," Margaret,
85, says of her connection to Harry. "And we never went to bed
mad."
"That's right," he adds, a twinkle in his eye. "She always had
to apologize first." (Clearly, a sense of humour is important,
too.)
A strong constitution helps. Joseph, who has been smitten with
Dorreen, 87, for almost as long as he can remember, cites his
mother's cooking. "Kapusta (cabbage soup) and borscht."
But their parents Victoria
BARON and William
CEPENDA, who were
born in Ukraine, met in Toronto and married in 1916, raised their
three kids on more than hearty soup. Love. Loyalty. Discipline.
A strong Baptist faith. The boys eventually anglicized their
last name to Spencer.
Their dad cried when the last child moved out of the west-Toronto
house where they all grew up. He died at 69, their mom at 82.
These couples don't say it in so many words, but their marriages
have flourished because of partners who are caring and generous.
And not just to each other.
Harry, who quit school at 12 and later worked in a foundry during
the war, has spent 60 years as a prison volunteer counselling
inmates.
At home in Orillia, where the couple moved from Toronto 17 years
ago, he often mows neighbours' lawn and clears their snow.
Steve, a long-time sheet metal worker, and Jennie, who just finished
harvesting a good crop from her vegetable garden, both volunteer
in their community, preparing food for other seniors and driving
them to appointments.
Joseph had a long teaching career at Central Technical School
and was honoured by the Governor General for his distinguished
volunteer service with Saint_John Ambulance.
He still teaches Sunday school.
Last week, there was romance in the air as the couples reminisced
about when their first sparks ignited.
Jennie remembers encountering Steve. "He met me and he said in
Ukrainian, 'Where have you been all my life?' He was with his
girlfriend."
Thank goodness the gal only spoke English. Eleven months later
they were married.
It was at summer camp in the late '30s that Joseph fell for Dorreen.
He found out where she attended church and one Sunday morning
took the streetcar across Toronto to greet her as she emerged.
They married in 1941 and a few months later he was overseas with
the air force. They wrote twice a week, still have the letters.
Harry and Margaret have Jennie to thank.
One day as a teenager, Margaret handed over her little autograph
book to Jennie, hoping her friend's older brother might pen something
memorable. He did. Then he returned the book in person. And the
rest is history.
The six have always been close. Every Christmas, Dorreen did
the turkey, Steve carved and Margaret made the dessert. "Squares,
all kinds," she says, reluctant to blow her own horn.
That's okay. The others will. They never stop singing each other's
praises, finishing each other's sentences and urging one another
to expound on their accomplishments.
"A big asset is being part of this family," says Dorreen.
She tries to explain further, but it's hard to talk when you're
all choked up.
No need to say more anyway. They all know.
Steve's wit takes a backseat, too, when it's his turn to reflect.
"I wish I could go for another 65 -- with the same woman."
He looks around the table, realizing he speaks for them all.
And really, what better anniversary gift could you get than that?

After the wedding, the chill is gone
James STARES,
Kathy
MITCHELL wed in a wintry maze of ice
By Louise BROWN,
Staff
Reporter
The bride wore white -- long johns.
In fact, so did the groom. The best man wore a toque and guests
tucked hot pads in their mitts.
When it's 9 below Celsius at the altar, it takes a few props
to keep love warm.
But romance also kindled the mood yesterday, when snow buffs
Kathy MITCHELL and James
STARES tied the knot in ultimate hoser
style, inside an ice maze near the C.N. Tower.
"It's a true Canadian wedding," laughed the 31-year-old bride,
who has heard every possible cold-related joke since the couple
agreed to marry at the Pontiac Ice Maze, built this week for
the Canadian International Auto Show.
"I've been called the Ice Queen, the Ice Princess, you name it,
but we just did it because a friend of a friend at a publicity
firm was looking for a couple to get married at the maze," said
MITCHELL, a former women's hockey player who snowboards, skis
and skates with her new husband. They're going to Vermont for
a ski honeymoon.
"We talked it over and embraced the idea because we love the
outdoors."
Mind you, the bride worried her bouquet of white hydrangeas and
red roses would freeze before she could throw it. Wind scattered
the rose petals and fake snow being strewn along the path by
the eight flower girls and "snow boys."
And the groom cut the ice cake with a chain saw.
"This gives new meaning to the term 'having cold feet,'" joked
STARES, 35, as he wielded the whining power tool through all
four see-through layers.
"But despite all the glitz, we were still really getting married,
so we wanted it to be meaningful," said
MITCHELL, who had the
Louis Armstrong hit "What a Wonderful World" playing as she emerged
from the maze with her twin sister at her side, to take her place
on the makeshift stage.
"We were actually thinking they were going to have a beach wedding
in the Caribbean, so this was a bit of a surprise," explained
Dorothy MITCHELL, mother of the bride, who clutched a red blanket
over her lap in the front row of the open-air chapel with fold-out
chairs and the Gardiner Expressway in the background.
"But you only live once, so it's fun."
MITCHELL and
STARES both work in product management, and were
introduced 18 months ago by mutual Friends who yesterday served
as maid of honour and best man on the gusty stage.
The couple got engaged last December and had been thinking of
getting married on a sun-baked island until approached about
the frosty alternative.
"But they've both been married before in traditional church weddings,
so I think they wanted to be more casual this time, and just
thought this would be a lot of fun," said Bev
STARES, mother
of the groom.
Still, there are logistical challenges to putting your nuptials
on ice:
A heated tent was provided where the 50 guests could wait until
the 15-minute ceremony began.
Burlap was laid along the bride's route in the maze so her red
high heels wouldn't slip on the ice.
The bride wore a heavy white fur-trimmed cape over her gown,
which was bought in the Spadina fashion district and featured
an unusual red top.
City hall marriage official Aestus
ROGERS had to compete to be
heard with the wind howling across his microphone as he read
the non-denominational vows.
ROGERS too wore many layers beneath
a heavy cape.
Guests were handed gift-wrapped hand-warmers for inside their
mitts as they watched the exchange of vows. The bride kept on
her white gloves as she slipped on her wedding ring, while the
groom donned his on a bare hand.
The newlyweds drove off in a car dragging ice cube trays off
the bumper.
After the sub-zero service, the party proceeded to warmer digs
for the reception at a King St. restaurant.
But flower girl Hannah
BARRICK, the bride's 12-year-old niece,
summed up the family's sentiments about the unusual ceremony.
"I think it was cool -- in both ways."

was raised in Mount Pleasant, north of Markdale. The couple raised
three children: Elanor, Marion, and Leon. They are proud to have
eight grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and six great-great-grandchildren.
They moved into Grey Gables in December 2005.
On the right are Ruby and Luxton
BARRY, who are celebrating their
55th wedding anniversary. The couple farmed in Grey Highlands,
and had five children: Nancy, Karen, Albert, Robert, and a baby
girl who died shortly after birth. They have lived in Grey Gables

Nicola ETHERIDGE and Joseph
SPINOSA -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,
June 4, 2005, Page M4
Some couples just want to have fun, and for Nicola
ETHERIDGE
and Joseph
SPINOSA, the ties that bind include making special
occasions contagiously funny. "We go pretty crazy at Christmas,"
Ms. ETHERIDGE says. "But we both love Halloween."
Spotlights and gravestones appear on the lawn of their century-old
home every October 31, along with cobwebs and scary monsters.
"We try to get the kids to scream. It's a riot."
"It's all for the children, and we're both kids at heart," says
Mr. SPINOSA, who describes himself as "an oldie, goldie fan"
who often dons an Elvis wig and costume to dish out treats.
Halloween, 2004, will probably remain their most memorable. With
October 31 falling on a Sunday, Mr.
SPINOSA planned his marriage
proposal for Saturday evening at a dinner theatre in a legendary
Stouffville haunted house. But Ms.
ETHERIDGE felt under the weather,
and he had to wait until their usual exchange of gory gifts on
Halloween morning for his opportunity. Rummaging through her
gift bag, she pulled out a skull candle, plush bat and a small
white box containing a mock severed finger wrapped in blood-like
stained cotton. Mr.
SPINOSA gingerly removed the cotton to reveal
a diamond.
"I freaked out, threw the tissue and we hugged and kissed," she
laughs. The tissue was ignited by a candle. "It kind of killed
the mood, but made it memorable."
The mirth in their relationship makes up for a rocky beginning.
The pair, who met when Mr.
SPINOSA was a supplier to the company
where Ms. ETHERIDGE worked, Reaction Promotions Inc. (now called
Accolade Reaction Promotions Group), initially dated for three
months, just long enough for Ms.
ETHERIDGE to become vulnerable.
Mr. SPINOSA closed his firm, began work at hers, and for some
murky reason about business and pleasure not mixing, abruptly
ended the budding relationship.
"I knew back then he was the one," Ms.
ETHERIDGE says.
The transition to a mere collegial Friendship left Ms.
ETHERIDGE
with a plummeting heart.
"I stayed away and looked elsewhere," Mr.
SPINOSA says. "The
Friendship we maintained was better than any relationship I'd
experienced and eventually I came to my senses," he confesses.
Two years later, with some trepidation, Ms.
ETHERIDGE gave him
a second chance. The next five years were almost idyllic as they
continued to work together at a Toronto promotional products
company, she as operations manager and he as marketing manager.
Mr. SPINOSA continued to spend much time with the 30-strong cadre
of buddies he had kept since attending St. Michael's College
School and the couple added a 600-square-foot deck to their heritage
home, big enough to fit all their Friends for annual keg parties.
The fun times rolled until a pivotal moment at a friend's wedding
in September, 2004. A teary outpouring by Ms.
ETHERIDGE in the
church blanched Mr.
SPINOSA. "
It's my birthday next month and
I'm sick and tired of waiting for you," she told him.
Motivated, he reviewed the situation. "I have a large family,
a lot of nieces and nephews that are a huge part of my life and
seeing Nicky childlike with them I realized the excellent qualities
in her and that was part of moving forward."
Wedding planner Cynthia
MARTYN located a perfect venue, the Capitol
Event Theatre. Says Ms.
ETHERIDGE, "I'm 36, I didn't want a fancy
wedding, just a big party with an Elvis twist, a band and dancing."
Mr. SPINOSA, 38, a collector of Elvis memorabilia with a bust
of the rock legend in his office, notes, "Her mother told me,
as a kid, Nicola used to impersonate Elvis and she never thought
it was weird. It's just a little connection we have."
On May 13, Reverend Dorian
BAXTER, who is also an impersonator known
as Elvis Priestley, officiated (assisted by Laura
STANGRET,)
as the couple recited traditional vows in front of their guests.
After cocktails, Elvis Priestley reappeared, this time complete
with white jump suit, sunglasses and guitar to croon Love Me
Tender for the couple's first dance.
"There is some trepidation as you buck tradition," the bridegroom
notes, "but I wanted people to get a glimpse of how we are as
a couple."
