Mia KIM and Scott Thomas SINGER -- Match:
By Judith Tenenbaum, Saturday, October 8, 2005, Page M4
Scott Thomas SINGER was a member of an endangered fellowship, that of the company man. Yet, unlike the snap, crackle and pop of the signature brand he managed, his personal life had all the verve of cornflakes. On graduating from York University in 2002, Mr. SINGER continued with Kellogg Canada Inc., where he had worked part-time for three years, but his progress came at a social cost. "I spent so much time at work that my father would always say, 'Don't worry, one day you will meet someone there,' Mr. SINGER recalls.
Soon, a harbinger of change appeared when Queen's University graduate Mia KIM, a new assistant brand manager, joined the breakfast club. "[She was] similar in age to me. We became instantaneous good Friends and started going for lunches," Mr. SINGER says.
Ms. KIM was home alone on New Year's Eve, 2002, recuperating from a car accident, when he called near midnight. A five-hour exchange led to a first date seeing Gangs of New York. Later, Ms. KIM would admit its length, not its content, held the appeal as she wanted to maximize their time together.
"We had such a close bond so fast," Mr. SINGER says, "I wanted to take her away just two weeks after we had been dating and Valentine's Day seemed perfect." The trip would be a surprise, and he gave her a series of envelopes in sequence with clues to the highlights: destination (New York), hotel (the Plaza), a Broadway show (The Producers), and so on.
Ms. KIM's friend Susan JACKMAN recalls the long e-mail she received soon after the pair came home. "The way she was talking, it felt like a commitment was formed early on," Ms. JACKMAN says.
The inseparable twosome began playing golf and driving together to and from work.
Family was paramount to him, and he valued that trait in others, embracing the tandem of Ms. KIM and her mother. "They came as a package," friend Nina KIM (no relation) says. "Her mother loves him, cooks Korean food for him, and he... calls her 'mother-in-law' in Korean." A passion for cottage life further linked the pair. "Being able to spend weekends at my parents' cottage means so much to me that I think this is one of the reasons we fit so well," Mr. SINGER says.
On the way to the cottage, they had often admired St. George's Anglican Church on the edge of Lake Simcoe. Mr. SINGER chose it as the site of his Thanksgiving, 2004, proposal.
However, concerned the church's Fall Flower Festival would bring a deluge of visitors and usurp the moment, Mr. SINGER roused Ms. KIM at 7 a.m. on the pretext of driving to town for a newspaper and paused at the tiny church.
A sole parishioner left, giving the couple a rare solitude in the autumnal air of the church. "We sat down in the front pew, I put my arm around her and decided not to think of what I'd say until the moment because I wanted it straight from the heart," Mr. SINGER says.
On September 22, after a rehearsal dinner, the couple donned Korean wedding attire for a ceremony in which parents and grandparents knelt and offered advice. Chestnuts representing girls and dates for boys, predicting their future bounty, were tossed into a shawl held by the pair.
Two days later, at the Rosedale Golf Club, guests with loot bags topped by Rice Krispie squares boarded buses and settled in to view Father of the Bride as they motored to St. George's Anglican Church. The bridesmaids appeared like fall foliage in burnt orange, yellow and fuchsia replications of a vintage Oscar de la Renta design. The dewy bride, 27, dressed in a Vera Wang creation, approached the altar, where Reverend Robin HEADER wed the couple.
The newlyweds live near Lawrence and Mount Pleasant. Mr. SINGER, 25, ponders new product innovation at Kellogg and Ms. KIM determines what promotional surprises to hide in our cereal.
