Have a conversation with Todd and Nicole Cameron and it quickly becomes evident theysa国际传媒檙e more than just casual fans of the Back to the Future movie trilogy.
One might even say theysa国际传媒檝e built their relationship around it.
sa国际传媒淲esa国际传媒檙e both pretty crafty and we kind of met through our love of crafting and costumes and stuff sa国际传媒� we met at Halloween,sa国际传媒� Todd said. sa国际传媒淲e were together for a few years and we did a lot of recreating movies with our costumes and fun little projects like that.sa国际传媒�
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.
sa国际传媒淚 realized that we were going to be down there during Back to the Future Day (Oct. 21, 2015). Itsa国际传媒檚 the day Doc and Marty arrive in the future, so that got me pretty excited,sa国际传媒� Todd said.
So he created a DeLorean ring box, which some friends travelling with them smuggled down. sa国际传媒淲e recreated the Western Union delivery scene in front of Biffsa国际传媒檚 car,sa国际传媒� Todd said. sa国际传媒淲e had it arranged with Universal Studios and they gave us a private tour of some of the cars, so that was pretty exciting.sa国际传媒�
The couple has photos and in front of Biffsa国际传媒檚 car where Nicole said sa国际传媒測es.sa国际传媒� 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.
sa国际传媒淲hen [Todd] had mentioned we should do a Back to the Future wedding I kind of had my guard up about that,sa国际传媒� 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.
sa国际传媒淚n the scene of the move theresa国际传媒檚 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,sa国际传媒� she said.
Todd made a King Neptune statue; Nicole recreated the table settings; they hired a band complete with blue suits.
sa国际传媒淲e actually found a DeLorean as well,sa国际传媒� he said. sa国际传媒淲e had a lot of fun with that.sa国际传媒�
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, sa国际传媒淣o, no, no, no, no, Marty. Both you and Jennifer turn out fine. Itsa国际传媒檚 your kids, Marty. Somethingsa国际传媒檚 gotta be done about your kids!sa国际传媒� could be seen as more than just a strange coincidence.
sa国际传媒淲e had been trying to get pregnant and then just after we bought tickets we realized that we were pregnant,sa国际传媒� Todd said. sa国际传媒淪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.sa国际传媒�
Nicole described Lloyd as a sa国际传媒渟uper sweet and very gentle.sa国际传媒�
sa国际传媒淚t was pretty cool to have him say, sa国际传媒榗ongratulationssa国际传媒� in his Doc Brown voice sa国际传媒� and Leah Thompson came over sa国际传媒� I started kind of crying sa国际传媒� and she came over and gave me a huge hug and she was so sweet,sa国际传媒� she said.
As for the babysa国际传媒檚 gender and name?
sa国际传媒淲esa国际传媒檙e going to save that for a surprise,sa国际传媒� Todd said.
