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