Robin LOCKHART and Daniel MARKS -- Match
By Judith Tenenbaum, Saturday, March 26, 2005, Page M4
New Year's Eve is traditionally an opportunity for new beginnings, and on this most recent one Robin Elizabeth LOCKHART and Daniel Stewart MARKS made life-altering resolutions.
They were brief: I do. I do.
Neither suspected they would be making such heartfelt utterances when they first met in January of 2003.
Mr. MARKS had strolled into Style Garage, a custom furniture store on Queen Street West where Ms. LOCKHART was working at the time, and didn't make much of an impression. Ms. LOCKHART, who'd trained at the International Academy of Design, viewed the Wednesday afternoon walk-in client a little skeptically. "I figured he was either unemployed or independently wealthy," she says.
However, when Mr. MARKS, president of Stonehouse Capital, inquired about design services for his Kensington Market loft, she thawed and offered her card.
"I had a very small need that rapidly grew," he chuckles.
The two became Friends, and initially, at least, their relationship revolved around design.
"I was a single man about town, and Robin was providing all-round style advice," Mr. MARKS says. Ms. LOCKHART's expertise had extended to "GQ-ing" his wardrobe, laughs the divorced father of two. "She put me in the position to be a most eligible bachelor."
"We developed a great working relationship and Friendship," says Ms. LOCKHART, now 30. Decorating can be stressful at the best of times, she says, but Dan "has a beautiful attitude toward everything -- really calm and easy. He'd step back and say, okay, how shall we deal with the problem?"
After a year, their collaborative efforts culminated in a trip to the Bau-Xi Gallery on Dundas Street West. Both passionate about art, they were there to select the final touch for his loft: art to fill an 18-foot wall.
"We were putting together a collection of pieces, dragging around paintings, having a great time, excited about the whole process," she says. Then, suddenly, over a painting, "eyes locked, sparks flew and the energy shifted."
By February, 2004, business meetings had morphed into candlelight and wine. "We took things slowly, as I had just ended a long-term relationship," Ms. LOCKHART recalls. But by early summer their palettes had blended. "We laughed at the fact that it had all started at the gallery, and that I had turned him into exactly what I was looking for."
Mr. MARKS, now 39, compares the gorgeous Ms. LOCKHART to his art collection: "It's about being colourful and alive. I call it zaa, and she's just got it!"
That August, secure in her own business, Robin Lockhart Design, and feeling "a sense of trust," Ms. LOCKHART took the plunge and purchased a Muskoka cottage on Lake Vernon with Mr. MARKS.
"We do boating, tubing, anything you can do behind a boat," he says, "and lots of wine on the dock ranks right up there."
Ms. LOCKHART envisions a further creative outlet: "We're converting the garage to a playhouse (for Mr. MARKS's children,) building a bunkhouse and raising the roof.
"The children are wild about the cottage, have huge grins whenever we say we're taking them up, and are looking forward to spending their summers there."
The next month, wending their way through Paris and Italy and "falling more and more in love," recalls Ms. LOCKHART, they lit on the Amalfi coast in a tiny town near Positano. Mr. MARKS had been toting a ring, hidden in such disparate places as his deodorant and socks. "On a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea, I pulled out the ring," he says, "and said, 'Here's a question for you, how would you like to marry me?' "
The letterhead inviting guests to their New Year's celebration was inspired by the purple and blue art pieces that had brought them together. The venue was the gallery where the pair had felt the first blush of romance. Owner Tien HUANG allowed the couple to hang gallery works that referenced their personal collection: luminescent pieces by Robert Marchessault, punchy squares by Tom Burrows, abstracts by Don Jarvis, and impressionist renderings by Darlene Cole. An éclat of colour bounced off the walls, contrasting with white decorations. "It was a relatively intimate affair, about 85, and with Robin's sense of design everything sparkled," Mr. HUANG says.
At 9 p.m. on December 31, flanked by bridesmaids in varying shades of purple and groomsmen sporting purple and blue ties, the glamorous bride appeared in an atypical sleek Vera Wang creation. Rounding out the wedding party were Mr. MARKS's children -- Sarah, 7, as maid of honour and Ryan, 8, as best man -- and two nieces who were flower girls. The couple then recited personal vows before officiant Sarah BUNNETT- GIBSON.
"By midnight the party was bumping," Ms. LOCKHART MARKS says. "Friends said it was the best New Year's Eve they had ever had."

3 weddings and a credit line
By Randy RICHMOND, Sun Media, Mon., August 20, 2007
Congrats, congrats, congrats.
You're broke, you're broke, you're broke.
An unusual notice in The Free Press this weekend revealed the triple blessings and triple costs for one London couple.
"Jeff and Marg SMITH are pleased to announce the engagement of their …" began one announcement.
And a second.
And a third.
All three of their children are getting married in the next 12 months.
"We are quite excited. It's going to be a big year," Marg said yesterday.
"I have a line of credit," joked husband Jeff.
Their "A-team," as Jeff calls his children -- Amanda, Andrea and Andrew -- begin the nuptials this December.
Amanda, the youngest at 21, will be the first to go.
She's marrying Sean ZYLSTRA, 23, of Wyoming, this December.
Up next is Andrea, 27, set to marry Jonathan MARSH, 27, of Windsor, next summer.
And finally, Andrew, 25, is set to marry Amanda GIRVIN, 23, of London, next September.
son Andrew and Amanda -- his fiancee, not his sister -- were actually the first to announce a year ago, but will be the last to go.
That doesn't bother them.
"I'm just happy there won't be two Amanda Smiths at the same time," said fiancee Amanda GIRVIN.
In fact, the two Amandas are each other's maid of honour and all six children are in each other's wedding parties.
Amanda SMITH was the second of the three children to announce to the family she was getting married, in June.
Last Friday, Andrea announced she, too, was going to get married.
That prompted the triple engagement notice.
"They should have put 'It's a family affair' above the notice," joked Amanda GIRVIN's mom, Cathy.
All the families and children are involved in the preparations. But with two daughters and one son getting married, the Smiths' home has become a library of wedding planning books.
"All the relatives are excited. They have three weddings to go to," Marg said.
"We love that they have chose such wonderful partners," she added.
Marg and Jeff moved into a new home two years ago so they'd have room for their growing children.
"Now they're all leaving," said Jeff, a driver for Summit Foods. "That's the way life goes."

Lori Lynn MASON and James EMBELTON -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM, Saturday,▼ January 29, 2005 - Page M4
Like many young Australians, James John EMBELTON went on a "walkabout" after graduating from university. The rite of passage is almost a national tradition, says Mr. EMBELTON, who graduated from Monash University in Melbourne in 1994.
"It's encouraged that graduates put a pack on their back, buy a one-way ticket, and see the world," he says. "I thought I'd stop [in Toronto], get a job for a year, and see what I thought."
That was more than 10 years ago. "I made Friends," he says, "did well career-wise, and started to love the place."
Within a few years of his arrival, he became a Canadian citizen and began working in financial services. He succumbed to the opiate of Muskoka winters, highlighted by an annual weekend at a rustic retreat near Gravenhurst, Ontario, owned by his friend Craig MARSHALL.
It was in this serene environment that Mr. EMBELTON staged a surprise proposal to Toronto native Lori Lynn MASON that reflected the international nature of their relationship.
The two had met at AIC Mutual Funds, where they were working in sales, in February of 2001. Each was in another relationship at the time, but their water-cooler musings heated up into romance by 2003. "Lori has an incredible smile and beauty. We are both motivated and caring," he says.
"Many women go gaga over him, but the accent wasn't a draw," says Ms. MASON, a business graduate of Mohawk College in Hamilton. "He is kind and intelligent."
Mr. EMBELTON made his move in March, 2004, after some stealthy manoeuvring. The pair had planned to make the annual trip to Mr. MARSHALL's place in Muskoka, but at the last minute, Mr. EMBELTON told Ms. MASON to go ahead on her own, saying he needed to study for his financial-analyst exam. In fact, he was taking care of some last-minute engagement details.
Things almost went awry, Mr. MARSHALL recalls. "James was travelling on business and left me his package to bring up to the camp. I picked up flowers for him, but in my rush, because I was entertaining the whole group, I got halfway and realized, 'Oh my God!' I'd left it."
The package was critical to Mr. EMBELTON's plans, so Mr. MARSHALL pulled a few strings to get it: "Fortunately, my ex-wife lives next door [to me]," he says with a laugh, "is a good friend, and likes James and Lori, so she hired a locksmith to break into my house so James could swing by for his stuff."
The next morning, Mr. EMBELTON rushed to Muskoka to rendezvous with two confederates who helped him set the scene. "It was beautiful, near zero, not a cloud in the sky and we set up a blanket on a snow-covered hill where Lori and I had spent time before," he says.
To paraphrase Jimmy Kennedy's lyrics to The Teddy Bears' Picnic, Ms. MASON "went into the woods that day, and she was sure of a big surprise." Mr. EMBELTON whisked Ms. MASON off by snowmobile to the secluded proposal spot, where the contents of the package were laid out against a backdrop of white pines: champagne flutes and a toy koala and polar bear teddy holding Australian and Canadian flags, respectively.
"I felt we were destined to be together," Ms. MASON says. "I was very emotional."
On September 5, Canadian and Australian flag bearers planted their standards on either side of the altar at All Saints Anglican Church in Etobicoke, where the bride taught Sunday school.
A design of a maple leaf and Australian gum leaf, their stalks intertwined, appeared on the invitations and in all facets of the wedding.
Ms. MASON, 30, entered on her father's arm to strains of Waltzing Matilda and O Canada. A bouquet on the altar honoured her late mother.
Close friend Reverend Timothy FOLEY, youth director Susan OLIVER and assistant priest Michael LLOYD incorporated a full Eucharist service into the ceremony. Mr. MARSHALL serenaded the audience on guitar as the couple signed the register.
The bridegroom, 32, was a national champion in yachting, and fittingly, the reception was held at the Boulevard Club. The bridal party entered to Australia's rousing football song with the newlyweds making their debut to the Hockey Night in Canada theme.
The 130 guests included 25 from abroad, whom the groom calculated logged a total of 270,000 kilometres to be there.
The newlyweds are now off for a two-year stint in Australia, where Mr. EMBELTON has accepted an associate director position at Macquarie Bank.
"It is more than a geographical change," says his bride, who looks forward to taking on new challenges there, including volunteer work caring for infants born with cocaine addiction.
"In Australia, I won't have the commitments I have here, so I'll have the time."

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."
