Robyn Michelle
KAISER and Eli Daniel
MOGIL -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▼
May 7, 2005, Page M4
Adventurers Robyn Michelle
KAISER and Eli Daniel
MOGIL have tested
their relationship in a variety of ways, from driving in the
Chilean desert to travelling in Thailand after the tsunami hit.
But it was a minor spill on a bicycle that convinced Ms.
KAISER
that she should marry Mr.
MOGIL.
The defining moment came in June of 2003 during a day trip to
the Niagara Escarpment, 27-year-old Ms.
KAISER recalls. "I had
slipped off my bike and Eli came to help me. I looked at him
and knew in my heart of hearts. You just know when it's the one."
Nearly a year earlier, in August of 2002, a mutual friend encouraged
them to meet. They rendezvoused at a College Street café, talked
until closing, then strolled near Christie Pits Park until 3
a.m. They discovered that their penchant for unconventional travel
and professional ambitions were in sync. Mr.
MOGIL, 28, compares
meeting Ms.
KAISER to seeing "a mirror image across the table."
He attended Cornell University in Ithaca, New York and worked
as a teacher in the Bronx for three years before changing direction
and returning home to study law at Osgoode Hall. There in 2003,
he won the J.S.D. Tory Prize in research and writing and is currently
articling with McCarthy Tétrault.
Similarly, Ms.
KAISER switched careers after graduating from
Concordia University in business and sociology. Realizing film
was her passion, she became an assistant director on films such
as X-Men. She now works as senior publicist for Disney's Buena
Vista Pictures, travelling regularly to studios in New York and
Los Angeles.
They ventured into risky travel together in January of 2004.
She visited Mr.
MOGIL in Chile, where he was realizing his dream
of playing squash for Canada in the Pan Am Maccabiah Games, a
competition for young Jewish athletes from around the world.
After the games, they flew to Tierra del Fuego at the southern
tip of South America near Antarctica, where the Pacific and Atlantic
merge and penguins thrive. "We hiked through glaciers and mountains.
It looked like Lord of the Rings," Mr.
MOGIL says.
A week later, they headed north to tackle Chile's Atacama Desert,
one of the world's driest. In a "rent-a-wreck" they drove the
4,000-kilometre coast, frequently in desolate terrain. "At one
point, we didn't have any water," Ms.
KAISER says, "and stopped
at a gas station in the middle of the desert. They didn't have
water, just warm Sprite, but we made it through."
"Together for a month in a challenging environment at the bottom
of the world, frightened at times, that's when things crystallized
for us," says Mr.
MOGIL, who was convinced that after that test,
marriage would be easy.
"A cheap flight and the use of a friend's home" were the impetus
for an October of 2004 weekend getaway to Vancouver and Whistler,
Ms. KAISER says. But Mr.
MOGIL had an agenda and deftly packed
an engagement ring and her cocktail attire. Lest the ring box
be discovered by airport security, he had a note in his back
pocket ready to flash: "This is an engagement ring for my girlfriend.
Please do not open it and ruin my surprise."
His concern was unfounded, but his anxiety mounted as they toured
Vancouver. At 4 a.m., angst-ridden and unable to sleep, he booked
a boutique hotel and dinner reservations, stashing Ms.
KAISER's
finery with the spare tire of their rental car. As they drove
to Whistler and ascended the summit by cable car, the worldly
Mr. MOGIL trembled with sweaty palms until he was able to steer
Ms. KAISER to a secluded spot and propose. As they celebrated
that evening, he says, "everyone was a stranger, but everyone
was happy for us, and we came back home to four months of getting
ready, showers, and celebrating."
They turned a dreary March 6 into spring with red roses, red
tulips, bridesmaids in red and red up-lighting at the Liberty
Grand, where 215 guests watched Rabbi Edward
GOLDFARB perform
the nuptials.
Despite the cautions of well-intentioned advisers, the determined
couple stuck to their plan to honeymoon in tsunami-ravaged southern
Thailand.
"We didn't want to abandon the country because they had a terrible
natural disaster, to go seemed appropriate," Mr.
MOGIL says.
Sensitive to the plight of the Thai people, they kept a low profile
at their hotel. "We were conscious of tension and didn't wish
to act like Western tourists on a honeymoon when peoples' lives
had been ruined."
After nine days, they flew to Chiang Mai, the gateway to rugged
northern Thailand and renowned for deep-rooted culture. They
trekked and mountain biked, navigating their own route past indigenous
hill tribes and elephants, and risked bamboo rafting. "It was
a nice balance to come from a fancy resort and then to finally
get our feet into the country," Mr.
MOGIL says.
The couple hope their complementary styles will serve them well
in their marriage. "It's hard to predict life," Mr.
MOGIL says.
"We bring out the best in each other, the truth in ourselves."

Rupa AGGARWAL and Mario
VELOCCI
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▲▼
June▼ 11, 2005, Page M6
When▼
Mario▼
Giulio▼
VELOCCI encountered a damsel in distress, his
chivalry included the bonus of a business opportunity.
It was 1: 30 a.m., and Rupa
AGGARWAL was standing on Yonge Street
crying, having just had an argument with her boyfriend at the time.
Mr. VELOCCI tapped her on the shoulder and handed her his card.
"You are much too pretty to be crying," he said, "You should
be modelling because you are beautiful."
Ms. AGGARWAL, a University of Western Ontario graduate who was
then studying occupational therapy, contemplated whether his
approach was professional or propositional. "I sat on his card
about three months, did some research and found out he was legitimate,"
she says.
During▼ his student years, an enterprising Mr.
VELOCCI had modelled
and worked as a wardrobe stylist to put himself through York
University and a master's program at the University of Toronto.
He had planned to become a teacher, but jobs were scarce when
he graduated in 1997, so he launched his own niche business,
VELOCCI
Model▼ and
Talent▼
Management.▼ "Most of my Friends were
of ethnic origin and couldn't find representation as models or
actors," he says, recalling how he promoted their talent to clients.
Consequently,▼ he encouraged Ms.
AGGARWAL's part-time modelling
career, and over the next four years they partied at glamorous
industry events as Friends, and set each other up on dates. But
Friends joked that they should consider going out themselves.
Love comes when you are not looking, and one evening over an
innocuous dinner the pair wondered what it would be like if they
married. The genie was out of the bottle, and Ms.
AGGARWAL returned
home that evening "feeling weird about Mario."
After another awkward movie evening, she showed up at his office
and said, "I need to talk." When she confided her feelings for
Mr. VELOCCI, he in shock jettisoned what he was eating. Discombobulated,
he waited 2½ months before inviting her out to chat -- and confess
his adulation.
"Our relationship was gradual, because we were making the transition
from Friendship to relationship, and both took it slowly for
the first year," she remembers with a laugh. "We didn't know
exactly how to proceed.
"It's a little strange because all of a sudden you're kissing your best friend."
Cultural differences posed a further challenge. She was of East
Indian Hindu heritage and he of Italian Catholic, but obstacles
paled next to the possibilities. Her parents, advocates of arranged
marriage, were reluctant to accept Mr.
VELOCCI as a serious suitor
as a stream of eligible Hindu candidates were in pursuit. Finally,
he implored, "Please slow down. We're in a relationship -- no
more prospective suitors!"
At her first luncheon with his family, gnocchi with meatballs
was on the menu. At the time, Ms.
AGGARWAL was a vegan (not convinced
by dogma, but by dyspepsia from a downtown eatery). "I was horrified,
not being able to eat at a family function, thinking what am I going to do?"
Happily, now all foods beckon to her -- by choice, not compromise, she insists.
On their second dating anniversary, his gift was a diamond pendant.
Decrying her mother's dubious comment -- "It's a far reach from
the neck to the ring [finger]" -- Ms.
AGGARWAL insisted that
Mr. VELOCCI would make his move when he was ready.
When she gave him The Idiot's Guide to Hinduism on another occasion,
he countered with a promise of a book on Catholicism when he
proposed. And after four years of dating, one evening in June,
2004, on the night before her 29th birthday, he offered a card,
the book and the ring on bended knee.
"She burst out crying, and all emotional, gave me this hug, didn't
even see the ring. And I asked, 'Does that mean you are going
to marry me?' " he recalls.
The couple satisfied their disparate family cultures with a ceremony
for each. On May 14 at Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Church, Rev.
Thomas MOORE wed the pair in a Catholic ceremony. One hundred
and sixty attendees, mainly from Mr.
VELOCCI's side, were given
gifts purchased by the bride in India, and she conversed in limited
Italian at their Renaissance Parque Dining, Banquet and Convention
Centre reception in Concord.
A Hindu ceremony and reception was held on May 22 at the Greek
Canadian Community Centre in London, Ontario, where Pandit Rajinder
MOHLA officiated before 250 guests, largely from the bride's
side. The couple in Hindu garb distributed Italian bomboniere.
The newlyweds' careers now largely focus on their modelling and
fashion-related businesses, including television appearances.
Ms. AGGARWAL appears on Shop Toronto as an on-air reporter and
Mr. VELOCCI, 32, can be seen as a fashion consultant on Toronto
Living and Style by Jury. "We complement each other," he says,
"I am the schmoozer and can work a room in less than an hour.
Rupa gets into intellectual discourse.
"She is social. My job is to maximize contacts."

Irene MONIZ and Liz
COATES -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▲▼
July 2, 2005, Page M4
Playing Friday evening broomball on opposite teams 13 years ago,
their glances were tentative, and neither Liz
COATES nor Irene
MONIZ ventured a smile. But they were both instantly attracted
to "something in the eyes, a sparkle," recalls Ms.
MONIZ.
They'd chatted with Friends over drinks after games, usually
about their shared love of nature, and within a month they were
dating.
"It got pathetic, to the point that we were on the phone late
into the night," says Ms.
MONIZ, who six months later affectionately
welcomed Ms.
COATES into her home in Brampton and into her life
-- which included her eight-year-old twin boys, Brandon and Christian.
"The transition was so easy that no one was aware that there
was a transition," she says. "The boys regarded Liz with as much
affection as me. It was a matter of whose lap they'd sit on watching
television, or reading a book."
Ms. COATES got Brandon into hockey, both boys into baseball,
and with their mother, encouraged them to play soccer and enjoy
camping. Soon, their father, whom the boys visited frequently,
also fondly accepted Ms.
COATES.
"Everything she does she puts her whole being into," Ms.
MONIZ,
44, says of her partner of over a decade. "So many people, all
different kinds, care for her. Her personality overwhelmed me."
The couple with a fondness for the outdoors also had dreams of
owning property in the country. So eight years ago, they "cornered
off a little piece of the world where we can hang out," 45 acres
atop the Beaver Valley in Collingwood, Ontario "We've taken in
backhoes and bobcats, and tailored it to be this fabulous place,"
enthuses Ms.
MONIZ, a construction company manager. "We have
trails, trout ponds, gigantic raised gardens, and go up through
the winter."
"We spend most of our time and energy there. People know they
can drop in any time and are always welcome. Irene is a great
cook," beams Ms.
COATES, 41, a pre-press manager.
As parents, they'd survived the usual battery of worries raising
two young children, as well as some not-so-usual ones. Regularly,
large groups of neighbourhood children congregated at the couple's
home. "Most of the time there never was a problem," Ms.
MONIZ
says. But "when the word got out our family was a little different,
the boys were picked on and teased."
She was summoned to meet with a school panel: psychologists,
teachers, the guidance counsellor and the principal.
"People fear what they don't know. Even though our families are
just the same as theirs, most people haven't had a chance to
find that out." The school had wanted to punish the offenders,
but a conciliatory Ms.
MONIZ suggested a more subtle approach.
She volunteered for school trips, where she "had the young [rascals]
in my group, and ironed it out right away."
Despite vestiges of societal sanctimony, she is a veteran volunteer
for the March of Dimes and Co-op Education in Peel. "We do little
private things here and there. Just a home-cooked meal, a little
note on a voice mail," she adds, convinced that kindness is the
greatest gift anyone can bestow.
Brandon and Christian's teenage years proved to be a pivotal
point for their mother and her partner as well. "It was a struggle,"
Ms. COATES recalls. "We were interested in having a solid relationship
and felt anything can be worked through. Irene is the only person
that I've ever met that when we have an argument it doesn't mean
we're breaking up. We made it through kids and that's a tough
one when you're not the actual parent. As a couple you're stronger
for it."
Last year, the twins hit their early twenties and headed west
for career opportunities in Calgary, leaving the couple with
an empty nest. Alone for the first time, they renovated their
entire house. "We are quiet people, have good Friends and live
a really good life," says Ms.
COATES. "
We've had a great year,
having fun, back to who we were when the kids were younger."
"We wanted to be married, in bliss. It didn't have anything to
do with the law changing," says Ms.
MONIZ.
Ambivalent about what path to follow, and convinced by a friend
that they'd regret eloping, the pair formalized a wedding in
two weeks. ("What are you doing next Friday?" Ms.
COATES asked
her family.) Everything fell into place, including rings that
fit without sizing. And the delighted couple were both unexpectedly
feted with bridal showers by their respective colleagues. "We
are very open to our companies and nobody has a problem with
it," Ms COATES says. "Act like a normal person. You don't need
to hide anything. You are a couple. People see that."
On May 27, at Mississauga Civic Centre, before an intimate gathering
of parents and siblings, the Reverend Tina
GABRIEL performed
their nuptials. A cozy reception followed at Bassano Ristorante
in Brampton. "It was magical," Ms.
MONIZ says tenderly, "Together
for 13 years, we've become family with everybody. Our parents
adore each other, mine adore Liz and hers love me. I don't think
I've seen so many people cry at a wedding in my entire life."

Rupa AGGARWAL and Mario
VELOCCI
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▲
June▲ 11, 2005, Page M6
When▲
Mario▲
Giulio▲
VELOCCI encountered a damsel in distress, his
chivalry included the bonus of a business opportunity.
It was 1: 30 a.m., and Rupa
AGGARWAL was standing on Yonge Street
crying, having just had an argument with her boyfriend at the time.
Mr. VELOCCI tapped her on the shoulder and handed her his card.
"You are much too pretty to be crying," he said, "You should
be modelling because you are beautiful."
Ms. AGGARWAL, a University of Western Ontario graduate who was
then studying occupational therapy, contemplated whether his
approach was professional or propositional. "I sat on his card
about three months, did some research and found out he was legitimate,"
she says.
During▲ his student years, an enterprising Mr.
VELOCCI had modelled
and worked as a wardrobe stylist to put himself through York
University and a master's program at the University of Toronto.
He had planned to become a teacher, but jobs were scarce when
he graduated in 1997, so he launched his own niche business,
VELOCCI
Model▲ and
Talent▲
Management.▲ "Most of my Friends were
of ethnic origin and couldn't find representation as models or
actors," he says, recalling how he promoted their talent to clients.
Consequently,▲ he encouraged Ms.
AGGARWAL's part-time modelling
career, and over the next four years they partied at glamorous
industry events as Friends, and set each other up on dates. But
Friends joked that they should consider going out themselves.
Love comes when you are not looking, and one evening over an
innocuous dinner the pair wondered what it would be like if they
married. The genie was out of the bottle, and Ms.
AGGARWAL returned
home that evening "feeling weird about Mario."
After another awkward movie evening, she showed up at his office
and said, "I need to talk." When she confided her feelings for
Mr. VELOCCI, he in shock jettisoned what he was eating. Discombobulated,
he waited 2½ months before inviting her out to chat -- and confess
his adulation.
"Our relationship was gradual, because we were making the transition
from Friendship to relationship, and both took it slowly for
the first year," she remembers with a laugh. "We didn't know
exactly how to proceed.
"It's a little strange because all of a sudden you're kissing your best friend."
Cultural differences posed a further challenge. She was of East
Indian Hindu heritage and he of Italian Catholic, but obstacles
paled next to the possibilities. Her parents, advocates of arranged
marriage, were reluctant to accept Mr.
VELOCCI as a serious suitor
as a stream of eligible Hindu candidates were in pursuit. Finally,
he implored, "Please slow down. We're in a relationship -- no
more prospective suitors!"
At her first luncheon with his family, gnocchi with meatballs
was on the menu. At the time, Ms.
AGGARWAL was a vegan (not convinced
by dogma, but by dyspepsia from a downtown eatery). "I was horrified,
not being able to eat at a family function, thinking what am I going to do?"
Happily, now all foods beckon to her -- by choice, not compromise, she insists.
On their second dating anniversary, his gift was a diamond pendant.
Decrying her mother's dubious comment -- "It's a far reach from
the neck to the ring [finger]" -- Ms.
AGGARWAL insisted that
Mr. VELOCCI would make his move when he was ready.
When she gave him The Idiot's Guide to Hinduism on another occasion,
he countered with a promise of a book on Catholicism when he
proposed. And after four years of dating, one evening in June,
2004, on the night before her 29th birthday, he offered a card,
the book and the ring on bended knee.
"She burst out crying, and all emotional, gave me this hug, didn't
even see the ring. And I asked, 'Does that mean you are going
to marry me?' " he recalls.
The couple satisfied their disparate family cultures with a ceremony
for each. On May 14 at Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Church, Rev.
Thomas MOORE wed the pair in a Catholic ceremony. One hundred
and sixty attendees, mainly from Mr.
VELOCCI's side, were given
gifts purchased by the bride in India, and she conversed in limited
Italian at their Renaissance Parque Dining, Banquet and Convention
Centre reception in Concord.
A Hindu ceremony and reception was held on May 22 at the Greek
Canadian Community Centre in London, Ontario, where Pandit Rajinder
MOHLA officiated before 250 guests, largely from the bride's
side. The couple in Hindu garb distributed Italian bomboniere.
The newlyweds' careers now largely focus on their modelling and
fashion-related businesses, including television appearances.
Ms. AGGARWAL appears on Shop Toronto as an on-air reporter and
Mr. VELOCCI, 32, can be seen as a fashion consultant on Toronto
Living and Style by Jury. "We complement each other," he says,
"I am the schmoozer and can work a room in less than an hour.
Rupa gets into intellectual discourse.
"She is social. My job is to maximize contacts."

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."
