Jennifer STANLEY and Manuel
SALAZAR -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▼
September 17, 2005, Page M6
Cancun may mean tequila in the minds of most visitors, but not
for abstainer Jennifer
STANLEY. "I spit out chocolates if I realize
they are made with liqueur," she says with a laugh. When her
Friends decided to go to the Mexican resort town for an April,
2002, mini-break, she had no idea that it was dubbed "party city."
However, Ms.
STANLEY sensed kismet had intervened when, as a
tag-along with her companions, she was hustled into a bar where
Manuel SALAZAR worked as a waiter and emcee. "The second we locked
eyes, he walked over and started talking. It was the chemistry.
You either have it, or you don't," she says. He asked her to
wait until he finished working, and the two spent five hours
just talking.
After that, the moonstruck pair would routinely rendezvous at
the end of Mr.
SALAZAR's shift and chat in the town square until
7 a.m. Then, Ms.
STANLEY would dash back to her hotel and wake
her girlfriends for a daily regimen of shopping, touring and
tanning. "I don't think I slept the entire five days we were
there, but I didn't want to be one of those girls who meets a
guy on holiday and takes off on her Friends," she says.
Back in Toronto, clear-eyed but smitten, Ms.
STANLEY soon realized
a flurry of calls and pixelated images were no substitute for
the real thing. So, on a work hiatus that summer, she took a
tentative step and rented a house in Cancun. "I always thought
my entire life would revolve around my career, but as soon as
I met Manuel, I had different priorities. I wanted to do it on
my terms, not go blindly into a whirlwind romance," she says.
But she adds, beaming, "It was the summer we fell in love."
Fall brought an apprehensive Mr.
SALAZAR to Toronto. "My worst
fear was that I wouldn't fit in," he recalls thinking. But warmly
embraced by the
STANLEY family, snow was the only frostiness
he encountered. "Toronto was different than I had thought. It
is very multicultural and open."
After his four-month visit, it was Ms.
STANLEY's turn to travel
to Mexico. "I'd be on a plane with people dying to get to the
beach, and I'd spend two weeks there and not see the beach once,"
she says, remembering that her junkets entailed day trips with
Mr. SALAZAR and visits to his relatives.
A year into their relationship, on one such excursion, Mr.
SALAZAR
surprised her at their culinary compromise, a restaurant featuring
Italian and Mexican cuisine. "Out comes a chocolate milkshake.
It was a huge deal because they don't have milkshakes, so I drank
it, and at the bottom was the ring," she says.
The next two years were defining. "We talked about where we would
live and what we would do. Would it be easier for Manuel to create
a life here with me and blend in rather than my going there?"
Ms. STANLEY, who appeared in commercials as a child, aspired
to become a television news reporter. So she studied print journalism
at Centennial College because, she says, "I wanted a strong backbone
for interviewing, researching and writing." Her internship at
The New VR in Barrie was production-oriented, but volunteer work
at Shaw/Rogers soon landed her a job combining news reporting,
cinematography and work as an anchor.
Her next quantum career leap followed a 2 a.m. epiphany when
she abruptly woke and drafted the concept for Urban Insider,
a show she now produces and hosts. The television series is a
behind-the-scenes look at places like the SkyDome, the C.N. Tower
and Woodbine racetrack. In 2004, it won the Impression Award
for best television magazine series in Canada.
With his fiancée's career in ascendancy and his yet to be launched,
Mr. SALAZAR graciously reasoned it would be "the Maple Leaf Forever,"
and the couple planned July 23 nuptials, "wanting to bring a
little bit of Mexico to Canada."
With a Latin flourish, the bride, 27, appeared in a handmade
red veil and tiara, a red beaded bustier embroidered in gold,
and a white skirt panelled and trimmed with red. The bridegroom,
26, stood in a traditional Latin American shirt, a guayabera,
cotton drawstring pants and sandals as Reverend Tom
MASSENA officiated
on the dock at Perfect Little Moments near Claremont, Ontario
Loads of sand and the adjacent pool transformed the
STANLEY backyard
into a beach-themed reception venue. Surprised guests were supplied
sandals, had their caricatures drawn and snacked from a Mexican
fruit stand. Palm trees and a tiki hut completed the ambience.
Revellers imbibed tequila shots in scooped-out cucumbers, drank
Mexican beer and let loose to a mariachi band. A local Mexican
restaurateur set out a buffet and dessert was the bridegroom's
favourite -- individual tres leche cakes, which revealed fortune-telling
charms at the pull of a ribbon for 13 guests. At dark, a dazzling
fire-art display of twirling, swallowing and juggling lit the
scene.
"Manuel and I met in a Cancun bar, which is why I believe in
fate and destiny," the new Mrs.
SALAZAR says. "I don't believe
I would have found myself there for any other reason than to
meet him."

Lisa PIJUAN and David
NOMURA -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▲▼
August 6, 2005, Page M4
It took a couple of encounters with David Robert
NOMURA, orchestrated
by his sister Catherine, to shift Lisa Susan
PIJUAN's view of
him from askance to starry-eyed. Of their first meeting at a
party in 2002 she recalls, "I thought he was pretty cute, but
gay. He and two Friends wore red shirts and I was obnoxious,
pretty loud, a party girl and didn't see him again for a few
months until his sister invited me to the Rivoli, saying, 'By
the way, my brother is coming.' "
"This is great," Ms.
PIJUAN lamented at the time. "The guy is
gay and can't stand me." However, she was wrong on both counts.
Charmed by her candour, Mr.
NOMURA spent the next 24 hours endearing
himself to her, confessing that he had just ended a 10-year relationship,
was emotionally bankrupt, committed to remaining single for a
year, and needed time to clear his head.
Meanwhile, Ms.
PIJUAN could attest to her own series of heartbreaks,
but had come to the realization that with her cats, books and
support of Friends and family, she was strong enough to live
alone and remain single. Yet, determined to avoid her pattern
of romantic disasters, she had established protective boundaries:
"I won't say I love you for four months, will only see you twice
a week, won't move in for a year, or marry for two." So she wished
Mr. NOMURA luck, and, convinced that she'd never see him again,
countered, "You don't have to be alone to heal," and they parted.
Unexpectedly, he e-mailed the next day. "I made up my mind to
break my commitment to myself," he laughs. The pair began dating,
their respective concerns flying with a flutter.
A turning point came two months later in August, 2003, before
a kayaking trip at a friend's cottage near Georgian Bay. "I drove
in the dark, and when I saw my sister's car I knew Lisa was there.
My heart tingled, and flooded with joy and anticipation," he
remembers.
Their shared love of the outdoors -- hers visual, his practical
-- would collide a few months later on a madcap escapade to Algonquin
Park. His sister had arranged for five veterans and novice Ms.
PIJUAN to trek and canoe to an isolated cabin on Thanksgiving.
Dave had the canoe and there were about nine kilometres of portaging
and canoeing," Ms.
PIJUAN recalls.
Mr. NOMURA, an experienced camper, admits, "It was the most extreme
trip I'd been on."
When Ms. PIJUAN stumbled and hurt her tailbone, the other five
decided to split up temporarily. Some searched for the cabin,
and others retrieved the canoes. Alone, Ms.
PIJUAN heard the
howling of wolves across the water. Thankfully, the wolves ignored
her, her companions returned, and they paddled to the cabin --
only to find it occupied by a gun-toting squatter. The stranger
refused to leave but affably shared stories and their Thanksgiving
dinner, cheerfully departing the next morning in his pickup.
"We later found out we were trying to negotiate with Greg
SARAZIN,
chief Algonquin land-claims negotiator since 1991, to get out,"
laughs Mr.
NOMURA.
Ms. PIJUAN, a graduate of the now-defunct School of Physical
Theatre, formed GirlCanCreate and is currently working on the
puppet production The Zoe Show, which began as part of the Groundswell
Playwright Unit with Nightwood Theatre in Toronto. She also curates
RED, a night of live performance integrating dance, puppetry,
music and film, which will again be performed next Wednesday
at the Lula Lounge.
Mr. NOMURA's passion for photography was rekindled last summer
when the couple explored Newfoundland. This May, he started a
one-year sabbatical from his software career to test that hypothesis.
Meanwhile, an overwhelmed, stressed Ms.
PIJUAN was organizing
her October, 2004, opening of
RED without funding when she asked
Mr. NOMURA, "
What am I doing? This is insane!" Suddenly, he tapped
her on the shoulder and proposed. She tearfully accepted, but,
always unconventional, insisted, "Why am I supposed to get a
ring with a diamond? I'm about equality and togetherness." Soon,
the two displayed matching engagement bands.
The wedding was scheduled for Toronto's Algonquin Island and
the date was destined to be June 25, close to the summer solstice.
It was two years and five days since their first date. She and
her mother were born on the 25th and their phone number ended
in 0025.
An entourage of 50 disembarked the ferry to be greeted by the
harmonies of flamenco guitarist Nicholas Hernandez, violinist
Chris Church and pennywhistle player Dan Restivo, who synthesized
the bride's Spanish and the bridegroom's Japanese/Celtic heritage.
As tree fluff fell like magical summer snow, the assemblage,
led by two 13-foot puppets from the Clay and Paper production
where the bride had starred as Lilith, and resembling the couple,
serpentined to the lawn of the island clubhouse. There beneath
Noah Kenneally's canopy, the bride, 33, in a twenties-vibe chantilly
lace Lowen Pope creation and the bridegroom, 35, in a sixties
Mandarin-collared black suit, exchanged personal vows in front
of Reverend Sarah
BUNNET-
GIBSON.
Later, they danced to The Rainbow
Connection, popularized by Kermit the Frog.
In lieu of a honeymoon, the
PIJUAN-
NOMURAs flew to Prague to
help create a puppet version of Carmen to be performed at the
world's largest street theatre festival in Austria. They are
living the vows they exchanged from Walt Whitman's Song of the
Open Road: "Will you give me yourself? Will you come travel with
me? Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?"

Megan BERNARDO and Ryan
MICHALSKI -- Match
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▲
March 12, 2005 Page M6
If you love something, you can set it free, but it may need a
nudge in the appropriate direction. At least that's what Megan
BERNARDO reasoned as she "pushed, more than encouraged," a reluctant
Ryan MICHALSKI to follow his dream and move to England to play
basketball.
The 6-foot-4 athlete, whom she had been dating for five years,
had recently obtained his Chartered Accountant designation and
a position with Deloitte and Touche LLP. But this bean counter
wasn't keen on being tied to a desk. He had been thinking about
trying out for a spot on the Northampton Neptunes, ever since
Friends from his days at Mount Allison University had ended up
on the team and encouraged him to join them. "It was always in
the back of my mind," Mr.
MICHALSKI, now 26, says, "and Megan
said, 'If you don't go, you'll regret it.' "
"I was worried if he didn't go, he'd regret me," Ms.
BERNARDO
laughs.
His employers were supportive as well, he says, guaranteeing
his position for a year, so Mr.
MICHALSKI decided to make the
move in August of 2003.
He wasn't exactly a stranger in a strange land. "My mother's
parents, five of her brothers and sisters and a whack of cousins
lived within a hundred miles, and when you come from Canada,
a two-hour drive isn't far."
Living and working with his former university teammates helped
him feel at home too.
The biggest challenge was being away from Ms.
BERNARDO, whom
he had met in 1998, when they were both third-year students at
Mount Allison, in Sackville, N.B.
"We did stats homework together and became Friends," says Mr.
MICHALSKI, who is originally from Saint John's.
The summer after they met, he lined up what he thought was a
solid job offer in Toronto, where Ms.
BERNARDO lived, and called
her.
"My parents always welcomed everyone into our house," Ms.
BERNARDO
says. "So when they heard Ryan's dad and friend Dave were here,
they said, 'Bring everyone.' "
When the families were chatting, they realized that Mr.
MICHALSKI's
father, a professor at Memorial University in Newfoundland, knew
a close family friend, Judy
ROBERTS, from when she was a PhD
candidate at Memorial. Both families felt an instant rapport.
The connection even led to an offer of employment for Mr.
MICHALSKI,
who had just learned that his original job offer had fallen through.
Hearing the news, Ms.
BERNARDO's parents immediately offered
him summer employment at Camp Wabikon, a former Hudson's Bay
post near Temagami, which they owned and operated.
That fall, the couple started dating, and by graduation in 2000,
they were viewing each other in a starry new light as they toured
Europe for a month. Ms.
BERNARDO decided to return there after
the two came back to Canada, to study Italian and formulate her
future. "It was hard because Ry had just moved to Toronto and
I was going away. But he was very supportive," she says.
While Mr. MICHALSKI completed his 30 months of accountancy requirements,
Ms. BERNARDO searched for her niche. After travelling in Europe,
she had returned to Toronto, completed the Canadian Securities
Course and found work in the investment field. But she wasn't
satisfied with her career decisions. "I was miserable in the
city being away from what I loved, and midsummer decided I was
on the wrong track. I realized that what I had been trying to
get away from was what I loved and wanted to do forever."
Happily, in 2003, she joined her siblings on Wabikon's staff
as an assistant director. "It's a family affair," she beams.
Meanwhile, Mr.
MICHALSKI was preparing to leave the country.
He had the ring and envisioned proposing at Christmas, when Ms.
BERNARDO planned to visit him. But when she dashed back to the
city to bid farewell two days before his departure, the catalyst
of nerves and ardour spurred him to immediacy. He missed his
opportunity during a romantic dinner when a group in banker's
blue noisily invaded the restaurant they had chosen. He skillfully
rebounded, however, and proposed later at home. After her slam-dunk
response, they bounded off to his scheduled touch-football game.
Just engaged, they were soon an ocean apart. "It was tough being
without Megan," he says. "She came over for a month at Christmas,
and I surprised her in April."
After that brief visit, he returned to England and stayed three
months longer, coaching in primary schools, a job made easier
after he had interacted with campers at Wabikon. And by fall,
as their wedding approached, he was back here for good, working
once again as a Chartered Accountant.
On October 22, Reverend Deborah
HART led the ceremony in Eglinton
St. George's United Church. The processional and recessional
were two versions of the Trumpet Voluntary, played by internist
and family friend Lynn
SARGEANT, who had performed the identical
repertoire at the wedding of the bride's parents in 1969.
"As soon as it started, all of my emotions came up," says the
bride, 27. Among her seven bridesmaids were five housemates from
university. "It was the first time we had all been together since
graduation, and I needed them with me," the new Mrs.
MICHALSKI
emotes, adding, "Our Friendship came before Ry and I were ever
a couple."
Still, she says, nothing can match the bond she has with her
husband. "We have the same Friends, are accepting of each other's
lives and dreams and make each other laugh, which keeps us sane."
