THAKE m@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2006-03-11 published
Ashley Ann
THAKE and Jeffrey Douglas
WILSON -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Page M6
If proposing marriage is akin to traversing a portal, Jeffrey
WILSON had his choice of 7,503 draped gates when it came time
to kneel before a stunned Ashley
THAKE at the Christo and Jeanne-Claude
exhibit, The Gates, in New York City's Central Park.
"I didn't think engagement, whatsoever. I was in absolute shock,"
Ms. THAKE recalls of the magical moment. "It was an exhibit we
really wanted to see. Spectacular, in the dead of winter -- the
trees bare, snow on the ground and a sea of saffron [fabric]
moving with the wind through the gates.
"Apart from the wedding, it was the best day of my life!"
In February, 2005, with conspiratorial help from his fiancée's
employer, Mr.
WILSON whisked Ms.
THAKE to New York for the weekend.
"I went through an unending series of metal detectors, from the
airport to the top of the Empire State Building," recalls Mr.
WILSON, who was sure he was going to be called upon at any moment
to pull out the ring he had tucked away in his pocket. Rejecting
the ubiquitous proposal site on the observation deck of the Empire
State, he was drawn to the dazzling exhibit in Central Park.
Fortuitously, parents of a friend were in New York a short while
later, when the exhibit was dismantled. As a result, explains
Ms. THAKE, they have a framed scrap of the saffron material displayed
on their mantelpiece, "and we get to reminisce all the time.
"Saffron is now my favourite colour, New York my favourite city
in the world, and it will still be our romantic rendezvous when
we are 89 years old," she says.
The couple's odyssey began in 2000, when Mr.
WILSON, who is now
30, saw a photo Christmas card that Ms.
THAKE, a graduate of
the University of Western Ontario and an account executive at
the Discovery Channel/CTV, had sent to his roommate.
"That was my first time meeting her -- without meeting her,"
he recalls.
Even though their circles frequently intersected, however, it
would take another year before they connected at a friend's party.
A few days later, they were sipping martinis in Little Italy
and comparing notes on what they had in common.
For Ms. THAKE and Mr.
WILSON, family was the linchpin. Both halves
of the couple had parents who had been married for nearly four
decades, were youthful, fun-loving and slightly off-centre. "It
was uncanny," Ms.
THAKE, now 34, remarks.
Her parents fired the first welcoming salvo, inviting the elder
WILSONs to the "First Annual Fossil Fest, so us old folks could
meet and get to know one another."
"They were like four peas in a pod," Ms.
THAKE says of the prospective
in-laws. "They now get together without us and have dinner dates."
The College Street couple cycle about Toronto, enjoying its amenities.
She is tentative about inconsiderate drivers; he is a " a road
racer" and often bikes the 150 kilometres to her old cottage
in the village of Sturgeon Point.
It was there, as they lay snuggled in a hammock facing the lake,
that the pair first realized they were destined to be life partners.
But for Mr.
WILSON, a Trent University graduate who is a project
co-ordinator for CitiCapital, it would take three-plus years,
waiting while "the stars finally aligned," in order to launch
his Manhattan project.
Grandeur and proximity made Hart House, at the University of
Toronto, the choice for the January 21, 2006, nuptials, at which
Justice of the Peace Tony
YOUNG officiated. One hundred and eighty
guests gathered around the Great Hall's massive fireplace to
savour hors d'oeuvre and take to the dance floor at a cocktail
reception that followed the vows. "It was phenomenal," exclaims
Ms. THAKE, who will now be known as Mrs.
WILSON.
At the Park Hyatt on their wedding night, a photo of their four
parents loomed at close range -- placed on the bedside table
by the concierge. "Keeping an eye on things," the bride's father,
Richard THAKE, says, laughing.
"So on their wedding night, there we all were, the
THAKEs and
the WILSONs, starting off together."

ROWAN to wed
By Canadian Press, Thurs., June 21, 2007
Toronto -- Kelly
ROWAN may have played a wealthy wife on the
American teen soap The O.C., but the role was nothing compared
to the life she could soon be living as the spouse of Canadian
billionaire David
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON, head of what is estimated to be the
10th richest family in the world.
ROWAN and
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON are engaged to be married and will walk down
the aisle later this year,
ROWAN's publicist, Jennifer Plante,
said yesterday from New York.
ROWAN was not available for further
comment.
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON, 50, is the
son of the late Ken
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON and chairperson
of the Thomson Corp. The Thomson family's holding company, Woodbridge
Corp., is a minority shareholder of the Globe and Mail. Among
the family's estimated U.S.$20 billion in assets is the recently
acquired Reuters news agency.
He and
ROWAN, 41, an Ottawa native, met last year and she reportedly
moved into his Toronto estate in recent weeks.
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON, married twice before, is reclusive, seldom granting

Cathy CHATTERTON and Jeff
THURSTON -- Match
By Judith Tenebaum, Saturday, May 14, 2005, Page M6
It was only natural for wedding photographer Cathy Elizabeth
CHATTERTON to wonder how and when her own turn at the altar would
come, and with whom. The "whom" issue was addressed when she
met Jeff Brian
THURSTON.
The other questions would prove problematic.
"I wanted a distinct memory," Ms.
CHATTERTON says. "I didn't
want to end up in a place where I had worked."
The respective wishes of each family raised further concerns.
Hers wanted an intimate affair, but his huge contingent required
a large soirée. Thus, rife with wedding input from outsiders,
the two balked. "There was a bit of tension," Mr.
THURSTON says,
"and it became clear that we weren't going to make it work for
everybody."
So the couple decided to do it their way. They picked a venue
and date that reflected their fun-loving personalities: Las Vegas,
April 1, 2005. Both the time and place had special meaning for
the couple; that they were to be married on April Fool's Day
would become even more significant as the day approached. They
met on April 1, 2000, at a Toronto party Ms.
CHATTERTON attended
with a girlfriend. "Jeff was 19, and I was 22. I laughed at him
because he was a teenager," she says. But a mutual attraction
was undeniable. "He was fun, and in a Hawaiian shirt. I really
liked him because he was a smiley guy, and it's hard to find
smiley guys."
The next day, Mr.
THURSTON went out with the two women and another
partygoer. "We talked," he says, "but I didn't know if Cathy
liked me because of the age difference." Happily, when the hand-holding
began, he realized Ms.
CHATTERTON was his date.
After their first solo outing a week later, she raved about his
jollity and dance moves, while adding a year to Mr.
THURSTON's
age in a phone call to her mother, who generally believed that
mature men were better candidates for her daughter.
The generosity he later demonstrated toward Ms.
CHATTERTON, who
had completed Sheridan College's photography program in 1999,
probably helped endear him even further. By Christmas, 2001,
he had graduated from R.C.C. College of Technology and secured
his first full-time job, at satellite-communications company
Telesat in Allenford, Ontario Despite working to repay a student
debt and having only a pittance for groceries, he scraped together
enough money to buy Ms.
CHATTERTON a prohibitively expensive
camera, which enabled her to launch her own photography business
in Toronto.
"We never talked about marriage," he says, "but it [the gift]
was like a commitment."
The camera "was a ring for me," she notes, remembering the tears
that welled uncontrollably at the time. Her gift to him was a
lock of hair for the partner she wanted to dance with forever.
"We jived and boogied on our first date, are silly together and
not afraid to be goofy," she says, beaming.
Ms. CHATTERTON's parents -- who live near Allenford, south of
Owen Sound -- ended up falling for Mr.
THURSTON just as their
daughter had. He lived with them, in their daughter's old "flowery,
girly bedroom," during an interminable, 3½-year wait to be transferred
to Toronto to join Ms.
CHATTERTON.
The couple's romance was characterized by blissful weekends in
the city and baleful weekdays apart. Every Friday, Mr.
THURSTON
barrelled 2½ hours down to Toronto for the weekend, where the
two would stroll and rollerblade and take in festivals and other
free events -- the only recreational activities available to
them on the tight budgets their fledgling careers afforded.
Occasionally, when he wasn't studying part-time for his B.A.
from Memorial University of Newfoundland by correspondence, he
would assist at wedding shoots, and the pair would become caught
up in romance. "It was almost like a Saturday-night date," she
says. "We'd give each other little winks, and when someone said
something sweet, we'd squeeze hands."
Their first extended trip together was a spring fling to Las
Vegas, where on April Fool's Day, 2004, before the dancing fountains
at the Bellagio, Mr.
THURSTON started to propose just as a loud
rendition of Sinatra's Fly Me to the Moon began playing. Unable
to hear a response, he remained uncertain about the outcome until
Ms. CHATTERTON urged, "Aren't you going to put it on me?"
April Fool's Day a year later was their planned wedding day,
but the joke was almost on them. An open invitation had 36 guests
keen to attend, although they wondered whether the Las Vegas
nuptials would be a drive-through affair. Mr.
THURSTON lined
up the guests' flights and hotel rooms and a reception with his
credit card, but when Jetsgo filed for receivership on March
11, the couple's plans melted down. Ever the optimist, he scrambled
to find a new airline, and did. On the plane, attendees received
envelopes with Las Vegas trivia and a quiz revealing the ceremony's
location.
At sunset, at the Chapel in the Clouds, a venue at the top of
the 1,149-foot-tall Stratosphere Tower, the couple were wed by
a justice of the peace. An Elvis impersonator performed at the
reception following, and the celebrants toasted with champagne
at the same fountain where Mr.
THURSTON had proposed, before
all danced the night away.
The newly transferred Mr.
THURSTON, 24, and Mrs.
THURSTON, 27,
have now purchased an Etobicoke home. "We are used to saving,"
she says with a laugh, "so we're used to having no money."
