Advice
on Making
L VE
LAST
Not many people can begin
married life with advice based
on hundreds of years of
combined experience.
But that’s the case for Erin, Lifestyle &
Programs Manager at Chartwell Queen’s
Square in Cambridge, ON, and her sweet-
heart Mitchell. As their wedding day
approached, Queen’s Square residents
undertook a secret mission. Their
wonderful gift was revealed at a surprise
shower – a scrapbook filled with best
wishes and tips on love, marriage and
building a meaningful life, as told through
their own love stories.

“I felt so honoured that the residents had
taken so much time and effort,” Erin says.
“All of the residents were so excited to
be involved in such an important mile-
stone in my life. Many residents had their
own wedding countdown going and
would remind me daily that I was ‘another
day closer’ or ‘22 days to go.’”
Mitchell, who knows how close Erin is to
the residents, appreciated their guidance
on how to be a good groom.
“I think his favourite piece of advice was
to ‘make sure the groom and best man
have directions to the church’ from a resi-
dent whose husband got lost on the way
to the ceremony.”
Congratulations, Erin and Mitchell.
You are lucky indeed to have so much
love in your life.
