The travel agency took care of everything we just had to show up, they said. The wedding consisted of a formal walk down a long aisle outside and the wedding ceremony took place inside of a white gazebo on the beach. The gazebo was complete with blossoming trees with pink and white flowers coming out of the top. Most pictures were taken after the ceremony, by a photographer at the resort. They were also taken in different locations at the resort. To top off the celebration, a singer entertaining people below the balcony where they were eating supper dedicated a song to Lisa and then one to the couple. Afterwards the the wave of people applauded them. One of the drawbacks to the exotic wedding was Lisa's parents and siblings and Mark's siblings didn't attend the wedding but everyone was included in the reception they hosted later in the year. In October, 2001 the newlyweds hosted a reception in St. Thomas at the Curling Club. They carried the style of their casual wedding through to the reception with Hawaiian lays for all the guests. Guests were required to wear Hawaiian shirts and there were umbrellas in the drinks. Much like their wedding, they made the entire night all-inclusive for their 100 guests. To help the guests relive their wedding day they showed a video of the ceremony. The couple also set up a special website - the address was on each reception invitation and allowed the guests and anyone else to see pictures from the wedding. Mark said having a website for their photos is a convenience because they don't often carry around their wedding photos to show people. This way, he said, he can just give them the address and allow them to look at them. One of the things they did do with the website is not put any personal information on it. The website address is www.geocities.com/jamaica wedding2001 Lisa is the daughter of Marlene and Bill Forrest, of Goderich.

Chris Morgan marries a broomball couple at centre ice. Chris Morgan has seen it all BY SARAH CALDWELL In 35 years Rev. Chris Morgan, of All Faiths Pastoral Centre, near Holmesville, has married more than 2000 couples in just about any way imaginable. "Our main theme is to make it a happy day for a couple with no rules and regulations and just allow them to be themselves," Morgan said. Morgan has gone from death row to the wedding aisle in his career as a minister. All Faiths Pastoral Centre has three ministers that perform weddings. His first wedding was very interesting since he had just graduated from the seminary and it was a hippie wedding where the groom wore a lace shirt made by the bride and the ceremony was performed in the middle of a field in Indiana. The couple paid him with a 50 pound bag of potatoes. "That was the most unusual payment received," he said. Morgan is also the Military Padre for the district and officiates weddings for the military, police officers and other ministers. Some of the other weddings he has officiated include one couple who met at the Wiarton Willie Festival and who were later married at the statue of Wiarton Willie on Groundhog Day.
