Meghan CHERRY and Jeremy
BAKER -- Match
Saturday, February 19, 2005 - Page M4
Travel ardour, restless curiosity and affection for cottage life
not only shaped Meghan
McINTYRE
CHERRY, but were also a conduit
to romance with Jeremy David
BAKER.
Endowed with those same touchstones, Mr.
BAKER, after graduation
from Wilfrid Laurier University, ventured to the Netherlands
to explore his roots. "I was lucky enough to get a job," he says,
"and it kept me there a couple of years."
Meanwhile, Ms.
CHERRY donned a backpack after her third year
at Carleton University in April of 1999 and trekked to Europe
with a friend's directive, "You have to stay with my friend Jeremy."
When she arrived, with scarcely time for introductions, he was
off for the weekend. Graciously, his roommate hosted Ms.
CHERRY,
but it was Mr.
BAKER who had seeped into her psyche, and she
suggested that he visit her cottage in Ontario that summer.
The CHERRY family had summered on Boshkung Lake in Haliburton
for three generations. "My dad had me up on skis since 4," Ms.
CHERRY says, adding that her parents, as part of a water-skiing
troupe from the lake, had skiied through Ontario's lake and lock
system to present a baton-enclosed letter from Toronto's mayor
at the opening of Montreal's Expo 67.
Other halcyon cottage memories she recalls are of her "Auntie
Zena" CHERRY,
The
Globe and Mail's legendary society columnist,
who died in 2000. "She spent many summers at the cottage. There
were singsongs, campfires, hot rum toddies and ukulele-playing.
Those were the good old days for my grandparents."
Her aunt's fabled advice, "Marry your best friend, someone you
enjoy spending time with and just being around," would prove
prophetic when an intrigued Mr.
BAKER accepted Ms.
CHERRY's invitation
in the summer of 1999.
He discovered that they shared the kinetic thrill of water and
snow sports. As a child, he had braved the perilous waves of
Lake Simcoe at his family cottage to become a pro on the catamaran.
While his father had him downhill skiing as a youngster, Ms.
CHERRY, now a part-time instructor, was bused every Saturday
to Blue Mountain for skiing lessons.
Encouraged by how complementary their skills were, Mr.
BAKER
returned for a brief December visit. He suggested that they navigate
Europe together in the summer of 2000, following her anticipated
graduation. Her aunt's advice resonated as Ms.
CHERRY fused Friendship
with adventure and headed off to explore with cavalier Mr.
BAKER,
thoughts of marriage on the back burner.
"One of my favourite places was mystical Turkey," Ms.
CHERRY
says. They also visited her relatives in Ireland, where they
stayed in a thatched cottage and had "the real Irish experience."
Then, paragliding and rafting in the Swiss Alps, the two began
"to depend on one another," she says, and returned together to
Toronto a committed couple.
"We didn't have a typical courting period," says Mr.
BAKER, now
an operations manager in Toronto for Prometric Inc., his employer
in the Netherlands. "And although we were close, it took us a
while to get to know each other."
After a brief stint in marketing communications, Ms.
CHERRY took
a postgraduate practicum in special-events management at Humber
College and is now a trip director for the Wynford Group.
The couple, both 30, travel extensively as part of their work,
so Ms. CHERRY was not surprised in January, 2004, when Mr.
BAKER
took her to dinner at the Doctor's House in Kleinburg on the
pretext that his employer had suggested a compensatory dinner
for his excessive travel. He then spirited her to Collingwood,
where in a letter he recounted the joy of their shared experiences,
expressed his love and proposed.
Their nuptials at Saint John's Anglican Church in York Mills on
October 24 conjured much "sentiment" for Ms.
CHERRY, as Revs.
Mary LEWIS and Hollis
HISCOCK officiated. She had been baptized
and confirmed and had taught nursery and Sunday school there.
After their reception at the Old Mill in Toronto's west end,
the newlyweds boldly tackled the 125-metre-deep Blue Hole, pioneered
by Jacques Cousteau, 100 kilometres off Belize. The difficult
and dangerous dive is not for the faint of heart. The couple
dove 40 metres down, along a sheer wall until it opened into
a huge water-filled cave. "It feels like you're entering a Gothic
cathedral with its massive stalactites and stalagmites," the
new Mrs. BAKER says. Playing down the danger, she adds, "Gorgeous
grey reef sharks dropped down the wall to see us, and we swam
with them."
A week later in Belize, accompanied by a solitary guide, the
pair tested new limits. With only headlamps, they swam, crawled
and climbed, water up to their necks, oxygen reduced, to the
Actun Tunichil Muknal (Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre), a restricted,
technically vulnerable, sacrificial Mayan cave site. Exhilarated,
they stopped to reflect in the eerie blackness, skeletons nearby,
the bride says. "We were holding hands, listening to the waterfalls,
headlights off."
After facing that abyss, new-home construction in Stouffville
seems tame.

Couple ties the knot on Roxy's stage
By Bill HENRY,
Sun
Times
Staff,
Page A3
Instead of "get me to the church on time," it was to the theatre
for Collene and Sean
BULLOCK's wedding Wednesday.
As a longtime member and also the box office assistant there,
Collene GILBERT-
BECKETT said the Roxy Theatre stage was the natural place for her wedding.
"We're not overly religious, so it was a great place to get married,"
Collene said. "It's absolutely beautiful but not in a church.
It's a great alternate location."
She has worked at the Roxy box office with her mother Jondre
BECKETT, the box office manager, off and on for about five years.
The couple chose Wednesday afternoon for the wedding because
it was the third anniversary of when they began dating,
BULLOCK said.
About 100 people attended the wedding, on stage with a backdrop
from a recent play, and the reception after in the Roxy lobby.
It's the first wedding there in several years, although another is scheduled later this month.
"It was certainly something very special for us,"
BULLOCK said.
"And the stage was great because with all the light you couldn't
see the audience, which helps with the nerves."
The newlyweds live in Owen Sound.
