For the two young men who travelled to Whistler, B.C., from Washington, it was a sublime Canadian moment.
Lanterns, stars and a full moon lit the snowy mountain-valley path. Holding hands, they strolled down it, through the trees and onto a red carpet covering the stairway of a chapel. Once inside, they exchanged vows and later sat down to an intimate champagne-and-candlelight dinner for two in front of a roaring fire.
"It was pretty spectacular," recalled Lizz Kelly, a 39-year-old marriage planner who created that moment -- and others like it -- through her fledgling B.C. business, Whistler Gay Weddings.
