Erika VEH and Mark
KNODELL -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▼
August 20, 2005, Page M4
Canada Day, 1999: In a Queen Street East booth, as an enterprising
Erika VEH supplemented her regular income by promoting time-share
packages for a Collingwood resort, neither she nor Mark
KNODELL
could imagine that serendipity would have them sharing their
lives. Out with his buddies, he chatted briefly with her at the
booth before hesitatingly leaving -- he was immediately captivated
by Ms. VEH. "My
Friends said, 'She likes you!' Mr.
KNODELL says,
"and I thought to myself, 'Wow, she's a great girl. I really
like her.' We came back about 10 minutes later and I tried to
persuade her to give me her number but she wouldn't."
"I'd been through a lot of relationships and only been in Toronto
three months," Ms.
VEH recalls. "My parents taught me the safe
thing to do was not to give him my phone number, but to take
his," which she did.
Her brief encounter with Mr.
KNODELL would have remained just
that, but kismet would intervene when she returned home to Ottawa
for her father's birthday on July 2. There, her mother, Suzanne
VEH, insisted that the recent graduate of Barrie's Georgian College
in resort and hotel administration discard student paraphernalia
she no longer needed. As Ms.
VEH rummaged through material destined
for the recycling bin, she picked up an expensive textbook called
Fundamentals of Management that she had never used.
"I flipped it open, and I tried to place the smiling picture
staring back at me." Suddenly, in an illuminating flash, she
excitedly announced to her mother that the enterprising Halifax
fish broker described in her textbook had tried to pick her up
in the Beaches.
Back in Toronto, Ms.
VEH rushed to call him, but the shorts where
she'd stuffed his number had been laundered, leaving a blanched
scrap with only a vestigial 416. When the telephone directory
held no listing, she reasoned he must have been a mere visitor
to Toronto and had returned to Halifax.
Two weeks later, her mother visited for the weekend and over
a glass of wine tactfully queried, "Did you follow up with the
East
Coast connection?" Ms.
VEH explained she had been unable
to reach Mr.
KNODELL, and, in any case, was not interested in
a long-distance relationship. Yet, fate summoned her mother to
urge, "Call 411. Just do it for me." A listing materialized,
and with some trepidation, Ms.
VEH called him.
A voicemail responded, "You've reached Mark and Dominic, please
leave a message," and had her discombobulated, leaving hints
for him to remember her. Immediately Ms.
VEH realized Dominic
might be a woman. "I freaked out. Oh my gosh, here I am leaving
a message on a strange guy's answering machine and he's probably
living with a girl!"
That Sunday, on his return from a business trip in Finland, a
delighted Mr.
KNODELL dashed to call Ms.
VEH, explained Dominic
was a male roommate, and they arranged a rollerblading date mid-week.
"I looked over at Erika and thought, 'What is this girl doing,
no padding, no helmet, going way too fast down the hill?" Mr.
KNODELL says.
"The brakes on my roller blades weren't working. I was trying
to impress Mark and didn't want to scream. I basically took out
someone's sprinkler system," she remembers. Before she crashed
into the house, "a chivalrous, Mark swooped me up." That, she
notes, was her first and last sortie into rollerblading. Later,
on a boardwalk bench, they chatted the night away, rapt in each
other until 4 a.m. "Both of us didn't want it to end, but by
dawn work was beckoning," Ms.
VEH says. She had explained the
serendipitous nature of her quest to locate him, and the role
of her textbook, as he listened in disbelief.
In 1992, Mr.
KNODELL, 32, and a former winner of a Youth Entrepreneur
Award of Merit, was interviewed and photographed for inclusion
in a proposed marketing text. "For me, the craziest thing was
the book. They promised me a copy, but I moved, never got it,
and forgot about it."
Lured by the opportunity in Toronto, the 1995 Saint Mary's University
graduate had moved his business, Continental Connections, from
the Maritimes about 18 months before meeting Ms.
VEH, 29. Also
drawn to Toronto, she had found work with a recruitment firm
and then moved to advertising sales.
The committed couple pooled their resources in 2001 to purchase
a home in the Beaches. On the premise that a dog was requisite
for "in group" membership in the neighbourhood, they were joined
by Rupert, a Boston terrier.
By April of 2004 the pair had moved to a second Beaches home,
and Ms. VEH had switched career paths to take the real-estate
licensing course. When she successfully completed phase one on
July 19 of last year, Mr.
KNODELL suggested they celebrate over
dinner. In a small, candle-lit private room, his odd behaviour
had her wondering, "like most women what was wrong? What did
I say?"
However, constrained by the table and squeezed into the corner,
he was struggling to kneel and open a ring box. "Of course I
said yes, and was shaking and crying," Ms.
VEH says.
The wedding was Victorian, vintage and simple. On July 10, at
dusk, the bride, in her mother's original gown, reworked by Kathy
COOPER of Urban Bride, floated down an aisle draped with peony
balls elevated by seven-foot shepherd rods to a stone outdoor
altar at Vaughn Estate where Reverend Gordon
KUSHNER wed the
couple. Classic touches included violins, Kir Royal, and, acknowledging
Ms. VEH's family heritage, a Danish cone-shaped cake with multiple
marzipan-filled, cookie-like pastry layers, tiny Canadian and
Danish flags on each.
"I feel like something bigger was in control, something bigger
than us," Ms.
VEH says.

VELOCCI m@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2005-06-11 published
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."

Interfaith marriages becoming more common
By Lorrayne
ANTHONY, Canadian Press, Wed., October 4, 2006
Toronto -- Tina
VERMA wore a traditional red sari when her bridegroom
placed a wedding band on her henna-decorated hand. It was the
picture-perfect Hindu wedding for a girl born in New Delhi --
unless the guests took into account the man beside her.
The groom, a Canadian Christian, wore a black western suit. A few
minutes after the Hindu ceremony, the two were married by a United
Church minister. Then they walked down the aisle as guests threw
flower petals on the newly married couple for good luck -- a
Hindu tradition.
As Canada becomes more culturally diverse, nuptials involving
individuals from different denominations and faiths are also
becoming more common, a new study finds.
While only 15 per cent of married or common-law couples were
interreligious in 1981, by 2001 such unions had grown to 19 per
cent, Statistics Canada reported yesterday.
Of the 14.1 million Canadians in couples, nearly 2.7 million
had a partner from a different religious group, the study based
on census data finds.
Still, the majority of couples consist of partners from the same
religion. And of those unions, more than half were between Catholics
and Protestants, the two largest religious groups in Canada.
VERMA's family was not entirely surprised when she recently married
a non-Hindu.
"When I was younger, (my parents) were thinking I'd meet an Indian
guy," she said.
When that didn't happen,
VERMA said her parents were very welcoming
of her Christian husband.
VERMA's family immigrated to Canada in the late 1960s. She said
growing up in small-town Ontario -- Woodstock -- there simply
wasn't any opportunity to meet young Hindu men.
The study found that the likelihood of an interreligious union
was associated with where a person lived, how homogeneous the
religious mix of the community was, how religious the person
was, how traditional the doctrine of the religion was, and how
long the person had been in Canada.
People in communities that were religiously homogeneous and people
who were highly religious were less likely to be in interreligious
unions, as were immigrants and older individuals, the study found.
Jennifer TIPPER, a research associate with the Ottawa-based Vanier
Institute of the Family, said the increase in interreligious
unions may be because Canadians are more tolerant now. But she
also suggested other factors may be at play.
"There may have been a much higher cultural imperative to marry
within your religious circle 30 years ago. But the fact is there
just weren't that many opportunities to do otherwise," she said,
adding that decades ago there simply wasn't the same religious
mosaic in Canada that exists today.

Long marriage follows accidental meeting
City couple celebrates diamond anniversary
By Jonathon
JACKSON,
Sun
Times
Staff, page A3
Helen VERMILYEA remembers telling the minister of her church
in Toronto that she had been married for six months and thinking
that was a long time
He said that was not a particularly long time, telling her he
had been married for 10 years.
That's not a long time either, at least not in the eyes of
VERMILYEA
and her husband Doug. Thursday was the Owen Sound couple's 60th
wedding anniversary.
They celebrated a few days early, with a party last Saturday
at Harrison Park. Most of their family was able to attend, filling
the community centre beyond capacity.
"Some had to eat outside at the picnic tables, (the hall) was
so full," Helen said.
Doug VERMILYEA and Helen
McGREGOR met entirely by chance in about
1940. Doug, a native of Regina, was in the Royal Canadian Air
Force. He was looking for a girl named Helen when he knocked
on his future wife's door, unaware the girl he was looking for
lived next door.
Helen, an Annan native who was working as a nurse at the Queen
Elizabeth Hospital, was captivated by the handsome serviceman.
He came back the next day to invite her to church and they married
about three years later near Annan, at the Johnson Presbyterian
Church, which is no longer standing.
After a honeymoon near Bracebridge, she went back to Toronto
and he went overseas. She came home after giving birth to the
first of their six children and they were reunited after he left
the air force in 1946.
"We bought a house from Helen's father and that's why we moved
from Toronto up to Owen Sound," Doug said.
In Owen Sound, the
VERMILYEAs owned Hatton Hall Catering for
33 years while Doug also worked at the
RCA plant. After the factory
closed in the mid-1970s, he went to work as a caretaker at the
Knox church in Owen Sound, finally retiring at age 77.
"The time goes, raising a family. It was time consuming," said
Doug, now 85. "You get old before you realize it, but we still
don't feel old."
"I don't know where the time has gone," said Helen, also 85.
"We've had a very very busy life."
It was during their career as caterers that they first heard
of a couple who had been married for as long as 50 years. As
she had done early in her marriage, Helen's commented it was
a long time for a couple to have been married.
"1 thought that was wonderful, to have a couple married that
long," she said.
The VERMILYEAs, who have 12 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren,
are proud of the seven certificates they received in commemoration
of their milestone anniversary. They're from Owen Sound Mayor
Rick BEANEY, Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound Member of Provincial Parliament
Bill MURDOCH and Member of Parliament Ovid
JACKSON,
Premier
Ernie
EVES, Prime Minister Jean
CHRETIEN, Gov. Gen. Adrienne
CLARKSON
and Queen Elizabeth.
It's very special," Helen said.
