Continued from page Hi Couple to wed at Waterloo Stage Theatre across to the Huether Hotel, and we closed that mo. "And of course all the other actors had to come by and see how things were going. "But it went great. We felt comfortable with each other right away, and he shook my hand good night." The success of the evening prompted both Allin and Yovanoff pursue a second date: and soon they found themselves seeing each other all the time. With everything pro- gressing so well, it seemed only natural the topic of marriage would soon arise. But, given the future groom's background in the world of theatre and dra- matics, those expecting a traditional proposal soon discovered the big moment would be anything but pre- dictabfe. "I run a one-act play festival each year at York University." Yovanoff explained. "On the third day when I was thanking everyone for helping, I called Jacki to come out on stage." After bringing out a small box, it was obvious to Allin. as well as those in the audi- ence, what was about to take place. But remember, Yovanoff is an actor. "l got down on my knee. tied my shoe and got back uprhe said with a laugh. "I had to keep them guessing." But a moment later, Allin found herself hearing those certain special words most girls dream of from the time they are young; well almost those certain special words. "l asked her, 'Would you like lo stay with me until we like die?" Yovanoff remi, nisced, Allin, of course. said yes, and the theatre erupted. "People we didnt even know were hugging us," Allin 5am. "lt was wild." Keeping with their own brand of non-tradition. in preparing for their upcom- ing nuptials the couple agreed the ideal location for the ceremony would be where their relationship unofficial" began. "We thoot,ht it was a great idea (a have the wed, ding al the Waterloo Stage Theatre," Allin said. "Thar's where I Farsi saw him. and we know the owners so well." The Theatre gladly ohlig- ed the couplers request. and agreed to reserve lune 23, 2001 for the cere- many, "We had to plan it for the theatre's offseason," Allin explained. "So really we only had June and July to choose from. But it all worked out well." And planning the event, she said, has been anything but stressful. and a whole lot of fun. "We want to make It like a true theatre production, so the ceremony itself won't take place until 7 pm," she sad. "Butat6:30 pm we will have a preshow featuring three actors performing stand-up comedy." Even the wedding invita- tions are presented in the form of tickets to an event, complete with a stub. "We thought we'd keep in the theatre theme," Allin said. "Everything else pretty well revolves around that theme." There will also be a the- atre program available, with head shots and short biogra- phies on all the members of the wedding party. “All of the tickets have the same seat number, which should make things pretty interesting" Yovanoff laughed. "We want to make it like a true theatre production, so the ceremony itself won't take place until 7 pm. But at 6:30 pm. we will have a preshow featuring three actors performing stand- up comedy. " The couple agreed the ceremony itself will be tradi- tional, however, they added, guests can expect a few sur- prises. "That's so both the guests - ladd Allin bride- to-be and we don't get too bored," Yovanoff said. Following the ceremony, the couple will be whisked away to a reception at the University of Waterloo's Federation Hall on a fully decorated Grand River Transit bus. "That's so everyone can fit comfortably." Allin said.

"It's going to be great," Yovanoff said. "t've been jok- ing that we should be selling tickets. "And if it goes off well enough." he added with a laugh, "maybe we'll do another one next year" - 10.1!
