The Wedding of Lynn Warren and Alex Ali
Who: Lynn
Warren and Alex Ali, contestants on "The Amazing Race 7"
When: June 1, 2005
Where: The couple exchanged vows on a terrace at The
Ottawa Congress Centre in Ottawa, Canada.
Pre-wedding Festivities: The couple enjoyed a week long
celebration of their upcoming nuptials, including a bachelor
party held at Gastineau hotspot Club Fusion and a wedding rehearsal
dinner at The Courtyard in the Byward Market.
The Ceremony: A dove, symbolic of the peace that the
long-term partners felt in their hearts as they stood side by
side at The Ottawa Congress Centre, was released into the morning
sky at the commencement of the official union of the two "Amazing
Race" contestants, which was witnessed by several hundred
family and friends, including "Amazing Race 7" winners
Joyce and Uchenna Agu, who sat upon satin chairs on a terrace
adorned with brown and pink calla lillies. The couple, who had
traveled from Cuzco, Peru to Jodhpur, India during their ordeal
on the hit television program, had to take one more journey
together from their home in California to Ottawa, where gay
marriages are recognized, in order to bestow upon each other
diamond and platinum wedding bands from Jubilee Fine Jewellers
inscribed with one word which sums up their lives together--
"Amazing."
Wedding Attire: Both men chose dark brown suits from
clothing store The Bay, which were paired with pale pink Jack
Lipson shirts and salmon-colored Liz Claiborne ties for an accent
of color. In a gesture of gratitude to the country that made
their wedding possible, the men wore small Canadian flags on
their lapels.
The Reception: Guests dined at The Empire Grill before
making their way to Suite 34 for a lively reception that included
fire dancers and a Cher impersonator.
The Honeymoon: The newlyweds remained in Ottawa following
the ceremony, relaxing with a variety of spa treatments, a hot-air
balloon ride and a performance by Canadian crooner Michael Buble
at the Lac Leamy Casino, located within the Hilton Lac-Leamy.
It has also been reported that former talk show host Rosie O'Donnell
has offered the couple a honeymoon cruise.
