Shelly CHAGNON and John
DATSERIS -- Match:
By Judith Tenenbaum, Saturday, June 25, 2005, Page M5
Despite co-starring in Eugène Ionesco's Killing Game and being
the only two in their 1996 Brock University graduating theatre
class chosen as teaching assistants in their final year, Friends
Shelly Lynne
CHAGNON, and John
DATSERIS never explored amour.
Opportunity lost, they drifted off, seemingly destined for separate
spheres. It was Toronto's storm of the century in January, 1999,
that precipitated their romance.
Stranded at her work at the Canadian Stage Company, Ms.
CHAGNON,
then a Burlington resident, was rescued by performer Peter
JULL,
a former Brock classmate who lived nearby, and coincidentally
was Mr. DATSERIS's new roommate. Despite having worked all night,
Mr. DATSERIS, in an act of noblesse oblige, yielded his as-yet-unwrapped
queen-sized bed to Ms.
CHAGNON. "
Shelly got to sleep in my bed
before I did," he laughs.
"We were snowed in, and Peter disappeared. It was two days of
Survivor, that was the reality," Mr.
DATSERIS says. They played
charades, read scripts and reminisced. Mr.
DATSERIS recalls that
by the time Peter returned, the relationship had begun to blossom.
Still, Ms.
CHAGNON says, "it took a while to realize we were
dating. March 21, we went to an Oscar party of Brock graduates,
and... that was our first official date."
The two had been working next to each other for a while by the
time of the snowstorm, but their paths had never crossed. Upon
graduation, Mr.
DATSERIS took an entrepreneurial path while continuing
to write. "I began to pursue film on the production side to greater
understand producing and the creative process," he said. With
an associate, he opened an animation company, Fly Paper Creations,
and set up shop at Berkeley Castle next to Canadian Stage, where
Ms. CHAGNON was planning special events and fundraisers.
With only a sister and his parents in Canada, Mr.
DATSERIS was
drawn to Ms.
CHAGNON's large French-Canadian family. "They
adopted me right away," he says. "There was this synergy, where
I fit in. Falling in love with her family made me fall more in
love with Shelly."
His father had hoped Mr.
DATSERIS would find a Greek girl. "You
don't understand," Mr.
DATSERIS told him. "Her family might as
well be Greek: They are loud, drink, eat great food, love talk,
politics and are emotional." His father acquiesced: "Okay, same people."
Their lives began to mesh, but the pair, now both 32, put marriage
on hold as they pursued career aspirations. Mr.
DATSERIS worked
for Brainstorm, a communications agency that purchased his business,
for several years, then he moved on to Capital C Communications,
where he's now Director Interactive. Ms.
CHAGNON ventured to
Rogers Television, where she is a publicist, and she also finds
time to volunteer for a Scarborough theatre group, Stage Centre
Productions. Her accolades include: two 2003 Rogers Impression
Awards for Outstanding Promotional Campaign for the Hometown
Hockey Campaign and a 2004 Galaxi Award for a Rogers campaign
highlighting coverage of the Toronto International Film Festival.
Their first years together were bittersweet. Tragically, Mr.
DATSERIS's mother succumbed to cancer, and a year later his father
died of the same affliction. "Shelly committed to helping us,
not only emotionally but coming to the hospital," he says.
Meanwhile, as the housing market inflated, in May, 2002, they
made a practical foray into home ownership on the fringe of the
Beaches. "It's small -- we refer to it as Queensbury Cottage.
Of course we were house-broke, and couldn't afford a wedding,"
Ms. CHAGNON chuckles.
The death of her grandmother, the family matriarch, also pushed
thoughts of marriage further away. As time went on and their
grief subsided, Mr.
DATSERIS took the initiative.
He commissioned goldsmith Leif
BENNER to design a ring. It was
a princess cut diamond, vines and leaves engraved with smaller
diamonds inlaid in the vines and leaves spilling onto the side
of the ring, and similarly on the wedding band, channel set with
square cut diamonds.
However, creativity takes time, and his intended July proposal
became an impromptu November, 2004, event.
On June 5, a snake appeared from the ravine at Mississauga's
Glenerin
Inn just before Reverend Tina
GABRIEL performed the nuptials.
That aboriginal symbol of life force and sexual potency mirrored
the couple's shift in priorities: to begin a family, grow their
roots, get closer to extended family, have fun and travel.
