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."

Gay marriage is legalized
Ontario appeal court rewrites law, says couples must be given
licences
Activists are ecstatic, Ottawa faces tight deadline to decide
on appeal
KLEIN rejects ruling, says he'll invoke notwithstanding clause
in Alberta
By Kirk MAKIN Justice Reporter; With reports from Mark
HUME in
Kelowna, and Canadian Press Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - Page A1
The exclusion of gays from the institution of marriage is illogical,
offensive and unjustifiable, the Ontario Court of Appeal said
yesterday in a historic judgment that makes same-sex marriages
legal for the first time in Canada.
The ruling took effect immediately in Ontario -- two gay men
were married yesterday in a Toronto court -- increasing the pressure
on the federal government to consider legislation on same-sex
unions or go to the Supreme Court. A decision on the latter option
must be made by June 30.
Alberta
Premier
Ralph
KLEIN boosted the stakes further, saying
his province is not about to recognize same-sex marriages as
legal, and will invoke the notwithstanding clause of the Constitution
to override any court ruling recognizing a right to such marriages.
"If there is any move to sanctify and legalize same-sex marriages,
we will use the notwithstanding clause, period, end of story,"
Mr. KLEIN said at the Western Premiers Conference in Kelowna,
B.C.
The Ontario court methodically dismantled every argument made
before it in support of heterosexual-only marriages. It refused
even to permit a grace period for Ontario to bring its laws into
conformity with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Courts in
British Columbia and Quebec have also struck down marriage laws,
but gave the governments time to rewrite their legislation.
The Ontario judges said denying same-sex marriage is tantamount
to declaring homosexuals a lesser order of being, helping to
perpetuate an impression that gays and lesbians are incapable
of forming loving relationships.
"A purpose that demeans the dignity of same-sex couples is contrary
to the values of a free and democratic society and cannot be
pressing and substantial," said Chief Justice Roy
McMURTRY,
Mr.
Justice James
MacPHERSON and Madam Justice Eileen
GILLESE.
"Same-sex couples are capable of forming long, lasting, loving
and intimate relationships. A law that prohibits same-sex couples
from marrying does not accord with the needs, capacities and
circumstances of same-sex couples."
The judges ordered Toronto's city clerk and the provincial registrar-general
to issue and accept marriage licences for two couples married
under the Christian tradition of publication of banns in 2001
-- Joe VARNELL and Kevin
BOURASSA; and Elaine and Anne
VAUTOUR
-- making them the first gay marriages in the country.
Henceforth, the court ordered the definition of marriage in Ontario
to be "the voluntary union for life of two persons to the exclusion
of all others."
The ruling was the culmination of decades of strategic prodding
by gay couples, associations and legal activists. All were ecstatic
yesterday over the strength of the Ontario ruling.
"This is why people come to Canada," said Michael
LESHNER, who
married his partner, Michael
STARK, within hours of the ruling.
"They marvel at our values. We have sent an unmistakable message
that love can conquer all."
"It's a momentous day," said Kyle
RAE, a gay Toronto city councillor.
"It is a great day for equality in Canada."
A lawyer for the couples, Martha
McCARTHY, predicted many more
marriages in the days ahead, while the federal government ponders
a possible appeal. "The more marriages we get, the more inevitable
this is," she said in an interview. "The time to be right is
ripe, as Martin Luther
KING would say."
Courts in Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec have now overturned
marriage laws. But the rulings in British Columbia and Quebec
did not take effect immediately because they allowed governments
until mid-2004 to redraft the laws.
A final clash is now possible before a Supreme Court of Canada
bench that has steadily established a reputation for defending
gay rights. The federal government has only until June 30 to
decide whether to appeal the British Columbia ruling. The Liberal
government is also expecting a report this week from a parliamentary
committee examining same-sex marriage.
Prime
Minister
Jean
CHRÉTIEN said yesterday Justice Minister
Martin CAUCHON is looking at the judgment along with the other
rulings, and said it is too early to know whether it will be
appealed.
Mr. CAUCHON said Ottawa recognizes it must move quickly toward
a "national solution" to the same-sex debate.
"We see the direction that the courts are taking now," Mr.
CAUCHON
said after a cabinet meeting. "I'm asking for a little bit of
time to look at the decision and to come back with a statement."
The Ontario Court of Appeal was not in a mood for patience, and
it was not willing to run the risk that provincial legislators
would devise wording to circumvent their ruling.
"A temporary suspension allows a state of affairs that has been
found to violate standards embodied in the Charter to persist
for a time despite the violation," the court said.
It also pointed out that were it simply to render the entire
law invalid, gay people would be vulnerable to the wrath of heterosexuals
who found themselves temporarily denied the benefits of marriage.
The decision rested on the constitutional right to equality and
emphasized the "dignity" of individuals.
Launched by eight same-sex couples, the litigation had targeted
a common-law definition of marriage as a union between "one man
and one woman." The couples won their challenge in Ontario's
Divisional Court, but it, too, suspended its ruling for two years.
Yesterday, the Court of Appeal specifically rejected arguments
that procreation is an integral pillar of marriage.
"Same-sex couples can choose to have children through adoption,
surrogacy and donor insemination," the judges reasoned. "Importantly,
procreation and child-rearing are not the only purposes of marriage,
or the only reason why couples choose to marry. The opposite-sex
requirement in marriage is not rationally connected to the encouragement
of procreation and child-rearing."
They said government lawyers offered mere speculation instead
of proof to show why the exclusion of same-sex marriages was
a valid social objective -- and that the definition of marriage
was far from a minimal infringement.
What Canadian think about gay issues
The Ontario Court of Appeal ruled yesterday that the right to
marry should be extended to same-sex couples.
Recent surveys have produced the following results:
Do you support or oppose gay marriage?
Support Oppose
Males (18-34) 61.2% 33.9%
Females (18-34) 69.2% 22.2%
If the Supreme Court of Canada said that the federal government
had to give gays and lesbians the right to be married, do you
think that the government should or should not use its power
to overrule the court's decision?
Should Should not
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees equal rights for
women and ethnic and religious minorities and other groups. In
your opinion, should the Charter also guarantee rights for gays
and lesbians?
Yes No

who refused to answer.
