They say that you can never meet the love of your life at the bar, which poses the question… are good people not allowed to hang out at bars? Who are these mysterious critics that make up these so-called facts? In this case, the critics have been silenced! Paolo and Carmen did in fact meet at a bar in Ottawa. Paolo’s smooth words and compliments on Carmen’s cowboy boots won her over and they have been together ever since.

One of the many things that Paolo and Carmen have in common is their insatiable love for pizza, so it was only natural that they grabbed a pie during some downtime on their wedding day. Those of you who follow us know that we love incorporating these types of moments as they represent our couples’ common interests and stories. With that being said, how could we not incorporate the very cowboy boots that brought them together? Using our cinevate atlas in the opening clip to track from Carmen’s treasured cowboy boots (YEEHAW!) to her wedding shoes is a small representation of their story.

So for all you ladies who think that you will never find your husband at the bar, this story may change how you feel. Guys, if you want to woo a girl, compliment her footwear (this is not a fact, but there’s no harm in trying!).

Enjoy.

Gloria and Robnell have quite a unique history with one another. This Film was heavily influenced by their struggles and team effort to make their relationship work over the last 5 years.

As Rob spoke about the first time he met Gloria and gave us his account of their story, we started to understand that this was not your everyday relationship. Although they share many similarities in their cultural upbringings, Gloria and Rob came from two very different parts of the world and were constantly faced with the challenges of keeping a long distant relationship healthy through many up’s and downs. Rob shared his thoughts on adapting to the weather, a foreign language and lifestyle here in Canada but this is one of the elements that we felt brought Gloria and Rob closer together.

The theme behind Gloria and Robnell’s film was the back and forth team work displayed for one another which seemed to be reciprocated by both of their families. To play on this, their story was built up not only focusing on Rob and Gloria’s joint effort to deliver Rob’s speech, in both Spanish and English, but tying in the similarities of each of their morning preparations as they prepared to tie the knot and live life together. This also influenced the music selection which seemed to fit quite nicely with Robnell’s speech.. If you listen carefully enough, you’ll hear how the song compliments both Rob’s speech about Canada’s cold weather, and the visuals of him putting his shoes on etc.. Hopefully you can pick out other subtle messages worked into the mix
