Kareen MADIAN and David
WOLF -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▼
July 9, 2005, Page M4
Ultimately,
Kareen
Melanie
MADIAN would conclude that if she
mixed all of the ingredients for her perfect man, David Daniel
WOLF would crystallize. However, her first phone interview with
him, for a syndicated radio program called Canada's Business
Report, where she was a producer, left the impression he was
haughty and aloof.
A colleague assured her, however, that she shouldn't judge him
by that first impression: "He's an economist and needs to sound
like he knows what he's talking about."
So in August, 2002, at the show's guest-appreciation night at
Jump Café and Bar, she decided to take the initiative and try
to find him.
"Half of Bay Street was out, and I realized that I didn't know
what these people looked like and was about to leave," says Mr.
WOLF, who was then senior economist and chief interest rate strategist
at RBC
Capital
Markets.
But then a "very cute girl" approached
him and said, "Can I ask you a really stupid question?"
He replied that she would be surprised at the questions people
asked him.
Her query, of course, was whether he was the man she had interviewed
a few months earlier. She had already recognized his voice, however,
and led him over to meet the group from her radio program.
That
October, when she called Mr.
WOLF for another interview,
he floored her with his response: "This isn't our usual time.
Are you calling to ask me out?"
Mr. WOLF admits it was the first time he had used such an approach.
"I'm usually pretty shy. I think it reflected something deeper.
I just kind of blurted it out."
An ensuing buzz zoomed through her office when she confided,
"I think I just made a date with David
WOLF. I called for an
interview and all of a sudden we're going out for drinks."
She missed his signals at first, however, and assumed that, as
the youngest economist on the street, he was just looking for
professional camaraderie. Several dinners later, the façade was
lifted. "I realized we were actually dating," she says.
Their paths had seemed destined to cross. A decade earlier, they
had lived a short distance apart in North Toronto, and his sister,
Susan, had often extolled her brother to teenage classmate Ms.
MADIAN.
His sister once borrowed Ms.
MADIAN's library card and
neglected to return a book. Harangued by the library, Ms.
MADIAN
followed up with a phone call, and Mr.
WOLF senior had acknowledged,
"That sounds like Susie."
"It was a weird, small world thing," Mr.
WOLF says. "She knew
my sister, and had spoken to my father."
Parental influence had prompted the entrée of both into economics.
It was her mother's interest in
CNBC that precipitated Ms.
MADIAN's
pursuit of business journalism at Ryerson University. She advised
her daughter, "Where you have unrest, unemployment, people totally
disenfranchised, you will find there is an economic reason for
it, and there are lots of stories there." After a period at CTV,
Ms. MADIAN gained an internship with
CNBC in New York, and is
now a Web editor of moneysense.ca.
Mr. WOLF, now 29, whose father is a professor of economics at
York University, is a graduate of Princeton University in that
discipline and currently chief strategist and head of Canadian
economics at Merrill Lynch Canada.
Intoxicated for five months by the vibrant Ms.
MADIAN,
Mr.
WOLF,
who was in Europe on business, impulsively urged her to join
him in Paris. A plane seat in doubt, his plucky lady fabricated
a tale of romantic distress where she desperately needed to meet
her fiancé. "'Husband' was taking it too far," she says with
a laugh. It worked.
Together, they savoured the nirvana of Paris. "We were on the
Left Bank, stopped for a crepe. It was this amazing feeling...
in Paris, worlds away," she says. "Going on vacation with someone
is a big test. We realized we could stand each other and wanted
to spend more time together."
The couple had discussed marriage, and religious differences
were never at issue. "I'm Christian. David is Jewish," Ms.
MADIAN
says. "We wouldn't call ourselves religious -- more spiritual.
If we have children, we'll expose them to both our cultures."
In October, 2003, they celebrated the anniversary of their first
date in Las Vegas. When Mr.
WOLF knelt on the grass at the Bellagio
claiming he felt ill, she visualized a proposal. "I thought,
oh my God, this is it! He's pretending to be sick and is going
to propose in front of the light show. It's going to be perfect,"
Ms. MADIAN recalls.
But her excitement turned to fear as she assisted him back to
his room in the throes of nausea.
Surreptitiously, that Christmas holiday Mr.
WOLF had obtained
her parents' blessing. Her mother, Arpi
MADIAN, says she "bonded
beautifully with him," noting that they went ring shopping together
at a family jeweller where she knew her daughter's ring preferences.
"The minute we met David, we loved him. Frankly as a mom, I was
so relieved he had active brain cells," she adds with a laugh.
"He's extremely intelligent, but not arrogant, like some, or
impatient with those who can't keep up. He's quite humble and
sweet."
Finally, on January 10, 2004, Ms.
MADIAN's birthday, a day he
always purported too mundane for a proposal, he offered a ring.
At the Le Royal Meridien King Edward hotel, on June 11, the couple
recited personal vows before Reverend Frank
FOLZ.
The newly minted
Mrs. WOLF, 26, who had fantasized about being a bride since her
"Barbie" days at the age of 5, stunned guests by looking like
a doll herself in an Oleg Cassini gown layered in organza, with
crystal bands at the waist mimicking a hair band, punctuated
by her ponytail and long cathedral veil trailing behind.
There wasn't a dry eye when the newlyweds danced the bolero.
Her mother recalls emotionally, "David had two left feet, and
you could see he did it just for her."

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
Note: Graphic does not include respondents who did not know or
who refused to answer.

New start at finish
Man proposes after road race
By Denis LANGLOIS,
Tuesday,
August 07, 2007
Keith MALHOTRA proposed to his girlfriend twice Monday.
It's not that Jenna
URBSHOTT had to think about how to answer,
but after running 13 kilometres from Oliphant to Wiarton, she
was too out of breath and exhausted to get out the response right
away.
So MALHOTRA got down on one knee and asked again. The answer?
Yes.
"I was definitely shocked,"
URBSHOTT said in an interview. "I
definitely did not anticipate that at a race."
The couple was about the cross the finish line in Monday's Wiarton
Shore-to-Shore Road Race when
MALHOTRA pulled out a ring from
the back of his shorts and asked his girlfriend of four-and-a-half
years to marry him.
When she didn't answer right away, that's when he got down on
one knee.
URBSHOTT said her fiance is a "spontaneous guy," but she still
didn't see it coming that day.
"The trick is trying to work it out… to make it a surprise,"
MALHOTRA said.
He bought the ring in Toronto in mid-June but had been thinking
about the marriage proposal for about a year. He decided to do
it at the end of the race both because it's in her hometown of
Wiarton and running is a passion for them.
The pair met in residence at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo,
starting out as Friends and eventually dating.
She graduated with a bachelor's degree in French and recently
finished teacher's college.
He graduated with a bachelor of science degree in kinesiology
and physical education. Both are currently working at Bruce Power.
URBSHOTT said she's been running competitively for about five
years and
MALHOTRA started about a year later. It was their third
time running in the shore-to-shore race together.
Usually MALHOTRA runs a little ahead of
URBSHOTT, but with the
proposal planned, they crossed the finish line at the same time.
Race assistant director Gordon
HEINRICH said the wedding proposal
was the talk of the race afterwards.

Louise PROCKTOR and Rick
MALHOTRA -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▲▼
December 31, 2005, Page M4
Rick MALHOTRA, an economic analysis manager at Exchange Solutions,
decries the glib stereotypes often applied to number crunchers.
But when he proposed to Louise
PROCKTOR on September 24, 2004,
he couldn't resist mixing a little math and a bit of logic into
his romantic plans. Friday made an ideal day for proposing, he
figured, because he and Ms.
PROCKTOR could plan an engagement
period of exactly a year and get married on September 24, 2005
-- a Saturday.
"Rick has a way of pre-planning. He's the more calculating one
but has gotten romantic over the years," Ms.
PROCKTOR says.
Both were employees of Kraft Foods Inc. during August, 2000,
he in finance and she in marketing. After four consecutive days
of business and social gatherings, they developed a distinctly
non-corporate mutual interest. "I kind of thought he liked me
because he had been coming around my desk quite a lot," Ms.
PROCKTOR,
now 31, recalls with a laugh. That Christmas, she invited him
to her party; he reciprocated by asking her out. Despite their
efforts, the spiralling office romance soon became public, as
fellow employees spotted them entwined at the Art Gallery of
Ontario and office spring fling.
In the spring of 2002, Ms.
PROCKTOR entered the Schulich School
of Business M.B.A. program. "It was intense," she says, "and
I could call Rick at any hour and he'd talk me through anything.
The next summer, a job-hunting Ms.
PROCKTOR often crashed like
a third roommate at the conveniently located Yonge and St. Clair
apartment Mr.
MALHOTRA shared with a friend. "We spent a lot
of time together," she recalls. "I love the way he is with family
and Friends, always so sincere."
Mr. MALHOTRA, now 29, found her presence a delight, taking front
row centre for her performances in amateur musical theatre, and
teaching her tennis while she taught him golf. "She was someone
I could be myself with, and most importantly she laughed at my
jokes," he chuckles. "It's excellent being with someone who pulls
you out of your normal comfort zone, and at the end of the day
makes you a better person."
On their September 24, 2004, outing, he insisted that she close
her eyes until at Coronation Park, at Lake Shore and Bathurst.
He guided her to a blanket strewn with roses facing the site
of their future condo home. He then presented her with a handmade
book of poems, the first three transcribed with his comments,
and a fourth he had composed titled Four, symbolizing the years
they had dated and that pivotal quartet of those August days
when they had first met. His poem ended, "I would be forever
honoured and blessed if you would accept this," and on turning
the page Ms.
PROCKTOR found a ring nestled inside.
After he slid the ring on her finger, Mr.
MALHOTRA deliberated
a fitful 20 minutes before urging her to use his cellphone to
confirm the tentative arrangements he had already made with her
insurance company adding the diamond to her policy. Having noted
his angst the previous evening, an intuitive Ms.
PROCKTOR had
manicured her nails and stowed a camera in her bag, which they
handed to a passing policeman on horseback to capture the moment.
The traditional wedding included Chaplain Milton
ORRIS reciting
a Hindi greeting, a rice ceremony and the Saptapadi [seven blessings].
The couple ended their vows with the same quote, "I promise to
walk through this life long journey together, side by side, hand
in hand and heart to heart."

Beep, beep, it's drive-through weddings
Patrick MALONEY,
Free
Press
Reporter
A Londoner will alter life at the altar when she opens Canada's
first drive-through wedding window this week. "Obviously this
is going to be a novelty," Dale
BREWSTER, the entrepreneur who
brought London the $99 shotgun wedding at her Crystal Wedding
Chapel on Wharncliffe Road, said of her latest chapter in the
book of love.
She said she got the idea when she married in Las Vegas 10 years
ago.
"The one in Las Vegas is very popular. (People) want to do something
different, that's the biggest thing. Why get married conventionally?"
Such is
BREWSTER's business philosophy, which is built on rental
flowers and spur-of-the-moment lovebirds.
The Crystal chapel opened last fall and does about 20 weddings
a month. But
BREWSTER expects business to pick up, thanks to
the drive-through and, well, other high-profile changes to the
Canadian marriage system.
Being in the wedding business,
BREWSTER is getting no shortage
of calls from same-sex couples.
"I don't care if you're gay or straight, brides want to walk
down the aisle," she said. And
BREWSTER, the consummate businessperson,
isn't letting any controversy get to her.
"This is a privately-run wedding chapel," she said. "I'm not
doing this for the good of my health here. I've got to make a
living (and) everybody's money is the same colour."
Now her focus is on turning a window facing her chapel's parking
lot into a Vegas-style drive-through. Two couples are slated
to use it in August -- the first passing through in a pickup
truck -- and
BREWSTER hopes the attraction will start off in
an appropriately unusual way this Saturday.
Two London Transit employees getting hitched have rented -- you
guessed it -- a city bus to load up their guests for the trip
to the Crystal chapel for the ceremony.
After exchanging vows in the chapel, bride-to-be Karen
MORDEN
said she and her new husband, Alan
BERNARD, will start celebrating
with a trek through the drive-through.
"We're both really madly in love and it's just going to be fun,"
said MORDEN, a 53-year-old dispatcher. "We're just going to have
a big party."
BREWSTER doesn't expect the wedding window to cause traffic jams,
but she's fairly certain the $169 deal will strike the same chord
that brings nearly two dozen couples a month into the chapel.
Whether to renew vows or get hitched, perhaps for a repeat wedding,
BREWSTER expects the window to be a hit.
"It's hilarious. It's going to be a novelty," she said. "I get
a lot of couples that want to do it quick and not spend a lot
of money, and why not do it and have fun? I have stress-free
weddings."

Wendy MANGOFF and Enzo
DIMATTEO -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▲
January 1, 2005 - Page M5
Sometimes the vagaries of circumstance make life a raw deal,
but you have to play the cards you're dealt. Wendy Eliza
MANGOFF's
health, finances and six-year career in office administration
were devastated in 1997 by a driver running a red light at Coxwell
and Dundas. "I spent 2½ years in physio and am still constantly
in some sort of pain," she says.
In 1999, her life was still in tatters, and incredibly, her car
was struck again: same intersection, same attending policeman,
same result. "It aggravated my earlier injuries and it took another
year of physio to recover. I think [fate] was telling me I had
to leave my relationship and start life over," she says, explaining
her decision to end an unsatisfying 10-year romance she was involved in.
Her self-vindication began with yoga. "It made me believe in
myself again. I took a one-year course and became a certified
instructor," she says. "It is a joy teaching because when people
are hurt it helps them physically and emotionally."
In spite of the prognosis that her multiple injuries would prevent
her from holding down a job, the once-adept skier and rock climber
began an inexorable return to the working world by taking a part-time
position as a receptionist at NOW magazine. By November, 2000,
she was dating maverick NOW writer Enzo
DIMATTEO, although it
was soon apparent their ambiguous emotions were mired in problems, not passion.
"Her ex was still on the scene, even though she didn't want to
be in touch with him. I didn't want to be in the middle," Mr.
DIMATTEO says. "I felt there was something missing, unattainable,
and distant about her. We weren't going anywhere."
The relationship petered out, "but on a good note," Ms.
MANGOFF
says. "I was still healing, and we were in two different states of mind."
In April, 2002, a nervous Mr.
DIMATTEO responded by e-mail to
her weekly invitation to a staff yoga session. "There are a lot
of things I want to tell you but I don't want to say them in
an e-mail," he wrote.
"I decided to seize the moment," he says. "It was one of the
few times I allowed emotion to determine what I was going to
do, as opposed to letting reason talk me out of it. It was liberating."
They had dinner soon after, and their conversation led Ms.
MANGOFF
to put aside reservations about their connection. "He was different,
and I walked out of there happy and I don't think we ever stopped
seeing each other after that," she says.
Their effervescence was stilled when, three months later, she
was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She implored Mr.
DIMATTEO
to break it off and avoid the uncertainty that lay ahead. Instead,
he proved a bulwark. "He stuck by me every single day, and I
knew at that point in time if anyone can be with me now, he'll
be with me forever," she says.
For the indefatigable Ms.
MANGOFF and the once recalcitrant Mr.
DIMATTEO, an August, 2002, motor trip to the Maritimes with a
jog to Bethel, Maine, proved incandescent as they mused on their
future and reflected on their past. He notes, "The trip was a
big deal for Wendy. She felt after 10 days in close proximity,
if we could come back and say we had a great time, there was
something there."
In March, 2004, they returned to Bethel, where they had first
declared their love. Poised on a rugged Appalachian mountain
peak, he knelt and offered an engagement ring, replacing the
promise ring she had worn.
The wedding ceremony took place at the elegant Edwardian Ontario
Heritage
Centre on September 4, with Sarah
BUNNETT-
GIBSON officiating.
"For Wendy, the wedding was a spiritual redemption, her dad walking
her up the aisle, her sister maid of honour, and her confidence
in the commitment," the bridegroom says.
Still working at NOW magazine, Mrs.
DIMATTEO, 32, is a senior
credit co-coordinator and Mr.
DIMATTEO, 41, is a news editor.
Never realizing his childhood dream of changing our world as
a foreign correspondent, he did, however, have an impact on his bride's world.
"When I think of all the pain and suffering I have gone through,
and still at times go through, the universe has given me Enzo
to hold onto and I will not let go," she says. "We will be married
forever, with a family."
