Romance buoyed by the Thames
By Jennifer
O'BRIEN,
Sat.,
June 7, 2008
Maybe it was a fluke, that each heard the river calling.
But their love is what it is, and the river runs through it.
Sarah BAIER and Walter
PARKINSON met by the Thames River, were
engaged along the Thames and today, in front of nearly 200 Friends
and family, are to marry by the Thames.
It started three years ago, at a beginner rowing class out of
Springbank Park in London.
BAIER joined at a friend's behest.
PARKINSON signed up after
seeing an advertisement for Learn-to-Row while driving home to
Lucan.
Turns out, she had her back to her future husband the first time
she got a good look at him.
"He was in the boat behind me and I looked back. Then, I did
a double take. I looked back again,"
BAIER said of that moment
near a boathouse.
"I noticed her right away, said a grinning
PARKINSON.
"After a week or two, I was definitely more looking forward to
seeing her than the rowing."
It was a good summer on the river for the two twenty-somethings,
who had joined the club looking for nothing more than a new experience.
They got to know each other during the classes, with small talk
and secret glances.
"We'd be in separate boats, so sometimes you'd just try to catch
a glimpse as his boat went by,"
BAIER said.
After class, a couple of times a week the entire group would
go out for drinks.
Then, they had their first date -- July 23, 2005, when
PARKINSON
took BAIER to see his family-owned racehorse, Lady D M, compete
at Mohawk Raceway in Campbellville.
And that was that.
Two years later,
PARKINSON took
BAIER to one of his favourite
haunts, the Thames behind his grandparents' farm in Thorndale,
and proposed.
Today, they're to marry in Fanshawe Conservation Area, along
Fanshawe
Lake, which as
BAIER pointed out, "is still water from
the Thames."
The theme is intentional, they say, because the river has been
a thread through their relationship.
"I do have this special place for the river now," said
BAIER.
"When we were rowing, we'd fall into it sometimes and we really
wanted to shower as fast as you can… but I still love the thought
of coming down to the river."
Asked if they'll continue to mark every special event by the
Thames, the couple smiled.
"I think it would be neat, if and when kids come along, to take
them here,"
BAIER said.
I do have this special place for the river now.

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.

Nicholle BAKER and John
RUSSELL -- Match
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▼
August▼ 13, 2005, Page M6
As he was being gurneyed into surgery for a liver transplant
in 1998, John Charles
RUSSELL smiled at his tearful family.
After being ill for years, Mr.
RUSSELL was philosophical about
the procedure. "I was weeks away from dying. I'd either make
it or I wouldn't; live or die. I finally had an opportunity to
have a life and was ecstatic," he said.
Drained of his vitality, he had succumbed to the ravages of hepatitis
C when he received the call from the University Health Network,
Toronto General. After the operation, he was told that his liver
had been so cirrhotic that it actually fell apart.
As he convalesced, his heart was captivated by the "warmth in
the eyes" of Nicholle Elizabeth Anne
BAKER, a nurse on the transplant
team. "She was cute, and had a wholesome look, someone I could
see myself with, but at the time we were both in relationships,"
he says.
His condition required ambulatory visits during which the pair
maintained a rapport, and as he recuperated, Mr.
RUSSELL would
often sneak peeks at Ms.
BAKER working in her hospital office.
In March, 2004, now unattached, he sent out his new e-mail address
and an immediate mouse click from Ms.
BAKER queried his well-being.
"I looked down at my desk, saw a pair of Colorado Avalanche tickets,
knew she liked hockey, and asked if she'd go."
Emotionally fragile after a past relationship, and circumspect
about dating a former patient, she accepted but kept it platonic
by meeting him at the game. Despite living only blocks from the
Air Canada Centre, he optimistically parked his car there, and
persuaded Ms.
BAKER to accept a lift to the Oakville GO station.
"As we sang along with the radio, I felt strange. Those little
endorphins were going off. When we said good night, I had butterflies
flying around in my stomach," he recalls.
Euphoric, and contemplating a second date, he then floored it
to Whitby, where his Friends were playing a rock 'n' roll gig.
Noting his early arrival, they concluded, "The date must have
sucked," but he exclaimed, "It was the best I ever had."
Ecstasy turned to agony when the following Friday he read her
e-mail. The decorous Ms.
BAKER had decided that dating a former
patient mandated a velvet brush-off. "If I were in a different
role.... I don't want to be construed as hurting you in any way....
you are a wonderful person," she wrote.
Mr. RUSSELL, who had been a successful developer before his illness,
was not ready to capitulate and fired off an impassioned response:
"I'll go to another doctor. I'll switch to the transplant unit
in London."
"I poured my heart into it," he recalls, pleading, "It's about
taking a chance in life. Whatever happens, happens."
At the time, Ms.
BAKER felt defined by her snappy convertible,
home in Oakville, her decision to adopt two girls if still single
at 35, and her career as a transplant co-ordinator. Yet, in a
rare display of vulnerability, she shared his poignant e-mail
with colleagues, and her mother, who, all moved to tears, urged
her to follow her heart. Her mother's proviso to the gourmet
cook: "If you're not quite certain, don't impress him; just have
him over and order pizza."
On their second date at her home with the hockey game as a backdrop,
Mr. RUSSELL could hardly contain himself. "I wanted Nicholle
to know everything there was to know about me, the good, the
bad and the ugly. I gave it all to her in three hours, this is
who I am and I'm not changing," says Mr.
RUSSELL, now 45, who
had emerged from a divorce and had no children.
Ms. BAKER was left without doubts and shortly took him to meet
her mother. He wheeled up in a silver-bullet muscle car. Surreptitiously,
with maternal concern, she noted down his licence-plate number
but now asserts, "I love him because he makes my daughter's spirit
soar."
It was Oakville's historic lighthouse at the end of the pier
that illuminated the couple's commitment in July, 2004, only
a few months after their first date. In response to Ms.
BAKER's
"I love you," Mr.
RUSSELL posed, Does that mean you'll love
me forever?" He then dropped to one knee and proffered a ring.
Family and Friends were thrilled although Mr.
RUSSELL could not
resist self-parody. "Nicholle dated academics who went to the
U of T. I went to the University of the Street. My Friends think
something's wrong with her if she's with me, and suggest she
check her eyes," he laughs, but admits he's redefined his life.
A recent honours graduate in Human Service Counselling and winner
of the Award of Excellence from George Brown College, he now
plans to work with addicted youth.
Ms. BAKER, now 33, left the transplant unit, moving to Public
Health as a high-school liaison in injury, violence and substance-abuse
prevention for Halton Region. But with a master of science in
nursing focused on transplant hepatology, she stays apprised
of progress in the field. "I changed so that should anything
happen to John I could be at his side," she says. "And living
and working in the same community has made me more politically
active, and socially aware."
On June 25, candles flickered to a string-quartet rendition of
Over the Rainbow at the Carlu. The bride in a silk blush Justina
McCaffrey gown, clasping white peonies, was escorted partly down
the aisle by her father, and then led by her stepfather to the
Rev. Sarah
BUNNETT-
GIBSON, where the couple exchanged personal
vows.
"It's been like a fairy tale," Mr.
RUSSELL says. "I was broken
down and sick, fortunate enough to receive a transplant, and
Nicholle happened to be there. I thought I knew what love was,
but never did until now."
A thankful new Mrs.
RUSSELL urges readers to visit the Trillium
Gift of Life Network at http: //www.giftoflife.on.ca.
I've already signed up to donate. But then, I could hardly say
no. Mr. RUSSELL is my new son-in-law.

Naomi Malka
SHUPAK and Mark
DRIMAN -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM,
Saturday,▲
August▲ 27, 2005, Page M4
Born just nine days apart and together since they were teens,
the only thing Naomi Malka
SHUPAK and Mark
DRIMAN seem to be
at odds about is how they met. "I remember distinctly being introduced
to her on the beach my first year at [Timberlane] summer camp,"
Mr. DRIMAN says. Ms.
SHUPAK, on the other hand, says she didn't
notice her future husband until 10th grade at the Community Hebrew
Academy of Toronto.
But since the pair's first official outing -- to their Grade
10 prom -- they have been exclusive. "I don't really know anything
about dating, because I never really dated," admits Ms.
SHUPAK,
25. "But I don't feel at all like I'm missing out."
After graduating from Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto in
1998, he did a year at Thornlea Secondary School, while Ms.
SHUPAK
began studying at York University. The following year, they both
enrolled at the University of Western Ontario in London.
Mr. DRIMAN graduated with an honours degree in business administration
and was awarded the University of Western Ontario Scholarship
of Distinction in 2000. Ms.
SHUPAK completed first a B. Sc. in
psychology, then an M. Sc. in medical biophysics and won both
the University of Western Ontario Chancellor's Prize in Social
Science and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council
Canada Graduate Scholarship in 2003, as well as several other
research awards.
Despite hard work at school, the couple did find time to spend
with Friends, attend charity balls and participate in a memorable,
and moving, tour called March of the Living, which brings Jewish
youth from all over the world to Auschwitz and Birkenau on Holocaust
Memorial Day and then to Israel for Independence Day.
Upon graduation, the couple were separated again when Mr.
DRIMAN
took a position as an investment banker at Canadian Imperial
Bank of Commerce in Toronto. On weekends, Ms.
SHUPAK, still at
University of Western Ontario, visited him, and he spared her
the lonely schlep home by accompanying her back to London on
Sunday evenings. On Monday, he would wake up early and whistle
back to the city on the train just in time for work.
On March 18, 2004, on the eve of Ms.
SHUPAK's master's dissertation,
Mr. DRIMAN made their separation that much easier -- by bringing
her an engagement ring. "I think we have known forever that we
wanted to get married," Mr.
DRIMAN says. "All the things that
happen in life, the big steps -- moving away to go to university,
going on your first trip without your parents, graduating, moving
out, milestones in one's life -- we've been through them together."
Mr. DRIMAN has been helping Ms.
SHUPAK with yet another milestone.
Following in the footsteps of her father, aunt and uncle, Ms.
SHUPAK is currently studying medicine at the University of Toronto.
To keep her at her best, Mr.
DRIMAN provides some "chicken soup
for the fiancée." Says Ms.
SHUPAK: "On many occasions, he'd come
from work to prepare a meal while I was studying for exams and
then return for what could result in extremely late nights for
him at the office."
The two were wed on July 10 at Adath Israel Congregation, with
Rabbi
David
C.
SEED officiating. Included in the wedding party
was four-month-old Madeline Anne, the bride's niece, who was
carried down the aisle by her parents Debbie and Marc
BAKER.
The bridesmaids held rose bouquets, each in a different hue of
pink. The bride wore a strapless dress adorned with crystals
and pearls, designed by Jim Helm, underneath a bolero jacket.
The celebration was not without some sadness. Ms.
SHUPAK's grandmother
passed away in January. "They had talked on the phone many times
a day," Mr.
DRIMAN says. In tribute, the ceremony was performed
with her wedding ring and the bride wore her heirloom pearl earrings,
complemented by a pearl necklace from the bridegroom's grandmother,
Ray CHUDY.
Under the chuppa, the bride symbolically circled her bridegroom
seven times. This tradition is said to represent creativity (the
earth being created in seven days) and a sevenfold bond between
the couple and their families. Now, the two just need to agree
on their own creation story.
