Sharon and Marcus were married in Waterloo, a charming little town outside of Toronto.  I had never met the couple prior to landing but it didn't get in the way of our brilliant rapport.  They were awesome!  So was Gayla, the coordinator that kept us all on track.  She rocked.

Every person was given a candle that was lit just before they exchanged vows.  Passing the Light.  It was neat.
