-
- A dapper Croft, whose father ran a wholesaling business on Wellington Street, married Booth at St. Paul’s Bloor Street. After a reception at the Metropolitan, the bride changed into a tan “going away” dress, and they left for a honeymoon in New York, Atlantic City and Philadelphia
-
- The World War I flying ace stopped shooting down German planes long enough to return home and marry Burden, a granddaughter of Timothy Eaton. Huge crowds watched the couple exit the Timothy Eaton Memorial Church under an arch of swords held by officers of the Mississauga Horse regiment. A brigade of more than 100 nurses from the Spadina Military Hospital, where Burden had served, also attended the nuptials
-
- With orange blossoms dotting the crown of her embroidered tulle veil, Leaside local Burgess tied the knot with Walker, a Globe and Mail sportswriter, at St. Cuthbert’s Anglican Church
-
- Yogi Bhajan introduced kundalini yoga to the city in 1968 and returned several years later to preside over the marriage of some of his former students. Six couples were wedded in a group ceremony at Bathurst Street United Church. More than 300 guests shared a vegetarian meal before two of the couples headed to their new ashram on a Thunder Bay farm
-
- Boldly going where Tiny Tim had famously gone before, a tearful Connors tied the knot with Welsh, a former waitress, on Elwood Glover’s CBC television show, Luncheon Date. Some 140 guests feasted on lobster during the reception in the basement bar of the Four Seasons Motor Hotel on Jarvis Street. They later relocated to the Imperial Theatre for Connors’ concert film premiere that night, followed by a party for 600 at the Holiday Inn.
-
- This couple’s wedding made news when the Toronto Star labelled them Toronto’s very own Brady Bunch. The two divorcees met after she bought a house two doors down from his, in Agincourt, and their children began to play together. After the wedding at Grace Christian Reformed Church, the couple took their five kids with them on the honeymoon.
-
- Actor Ross Petty asked Kain, prima ballerina, for a first date, but she was the one who later proposed marriage. The rain stopped just in time for their evening ceremony at St. Clements Anglican Church. The couple toasted their union with 200 guests in the Courtyard Café at the Windsor Arms Hotel
-
- The political pair declared their love for the city, the environment and, oh yes, one another on Algonquin Island. Two gay ministers from the Unitarian Church sealed the vows between Chow, then a school trustee, and Layton, who was a city councillor.
