Have a conversation with Todd and Nicole Cameron and it quickly becomes evident theyB次元官网网址檙e more than just casual fans of the Back to the Future movie trilogy.
One might even say theyB次元官网网址檝e built their relationship around it.
B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e both pretty crafty and we kind of met through our love of crafting and costumes and stuff B次元官网网址� we met at Halloween,B次元官网网址� Todd said. B次元官网网址淲e were together for a few years and we did a lot of recreating movies with our costumes and fun little projects like that.B次元官网网址�
They seemed like a good fit so when it came time to make it official with a proposal, Todd figured a worthy place to pop the question would be at Universal Studios while vacationing in southern California.
B次元官网网址淚 realized that we were going to be down there during Back to the Future Day (Oct. 21, 2015). ItB次元官网网址檚 the day Doc and Marty arrive in the future, so that got me pretty excited,B次元官网网址� Todd said.
So he created a DeLorean ring box, which some friends travelling with them smuggled down. B次元官网网址淲e recreated the Western Union delivery scene in front of BiffB次元官网网址檚 car,B次元官网网址� Todd said. B次元官网网址淲e had it arranged with Universal Studios and they gave us a private tour of some of the cars, so that was pretty exciting.B次元官网网址�
The couple has photos and in front of BiffB次元官网网址檚 car where Nicole said B次元官网网址測es.B次元官网网址� One year later, they held their marriage reception in the Departure Bay Kin Hut, where they recreated the Enchantment Under the Sea high school dance set.
B次元官网网址淲hen [Todd] had mentioned we should do a Back to the Future wedding I kind of had my guard up about that,B次元官网网址� said Nicole, who admits she loves trilogy, but said no one is as big a fan of the movies as is Todd.
But the theme of the wedding did appeal to her interest in anything to do with the 1950s.
B次元官网网址淚n the scene of the move thereB次元官网网址檚 the dance in 1955, so I thought, with Todd wanting the Back to the Future wedding, that we could somehow compromise and have the 1950s aspect of Back to the Future, so we kind of compromised that way and we both got what we wanted,B次元官网网址� she said.
Todd made a King Neptune statue; Nicole recreated the table settings; they hired a band complete with blue suits.
B次元官网网址淲e actually found a DeLorean as well,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淲e had a lot of fun with that.B次元官网网址�
When the couple found out three stars from the original movie, Christopher Lloyd, Leah Thompson and Tom Wilson, were going to be at the Calgary Fan Expo, it looked like a good opportunity to finish off their personal life trilogy, so to speak, and get their photo taken with the stars.
And as, it turned out, a line from the first movie when Doc Emmett Brown tells Marty McFly and Jennifer Parker they urgently must travel forward in time with him to 2015 because, B次元官网网址淣o, no, no, no, no, Marty. Both you and Jennifer turn out fine. ItB次元官网网址檚 your kids, Marty. SomethingB次元官网网址檚 gotta be done about your kids!B次元官网网址� could be seen as more than just a strange coincidence.
B次元官网网址淲e had been trying to get pregnant and then just after we bought tickets we realized that we were pregnant,B次元官网网址� Todd said. B次元官网网址淪o we were thinking what better way to announce our baby than to have our picture taken with the stars from the movie? They were more than gracious and held the sign and gave us hugs and handshakes and congratulations. So, yeah, we pulled off the trilogy.B次元官网网址�
Nicole described Lloyd as a B次元官网网址渟uper sweet and very gentle.B次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址淚t was pretty cool to have him say, B次元官网网址榗ongratulationsB次元官网网址� in his Doc Brown voice B次元官网网址� and Leah Thompson came over B次元官网网址� I started kind of crying B次元官网网址� and she came over and gave me a huge hug and she was so sweet,B次元官网网址� she said.
As for the babyB次元官网网址檚 gender and name?
B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e going to save that for a surprise,B次元官网网址� Todd said.
