A Casual Summer Wedding In St. Catharines, Ontario

  |   By Jaimie Goldstein

Dawn Marie and Darryl met in high-school drama class, but the two chose to take different life paths once they graduated. Something brought them back together over 20 years later though. “An email arrived in my inbox asking if I was the same Dawn Marie from all those years ago," explains Dawn Marie. "I agreed to meet for a drink and… the rest… well, you know." A few years later the couple took a vacation to British Columbia and one of their first stops was the Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino for a romantic dinner the night before Dawn Marie’s birthday. “After dessert arrived, Darryl gave me my birthday card, and at the bottom he had written 'look up', there was the ring and he asked me to marry him,” explains Dawn Marie. “It was the best birthday present I could ever ask for."
