Jennifer Morrison and Stuart Douglas Andrew Grant were married Jan. 26 at the Fermenting Cellar, an events space, in Toronto. David G. Stinson, a judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and an uncle of the bride, officiated.
Ms. Morrison, 42, is an executive producer of etalk, a daily celebrity entertainment show based in Toronto. She graduated from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and received a postgraduate degree in journalism from Centennial College in Toronto.
She is the daughter of Katherine A. Morrison and John H. Morrison of Toronto. Her father retired as an appointed tribunal member of the Veterans Review and Appeal Board of Canada. He conducted hearings of decisions made on disability claims of members and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The groom, also 42, is the chief of the compliance office at HGC Investment Management, a hedge fund based in Toronto, and is pursuing a master’s degree in finance through Boston University. He graduated with a diploma in sports administration from Durham College in Oshawa, Ontario, and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Belmont University in Nashville.
He is a son of Candace T. Grant of Utica, N.Y., and Kenneth A. Grant of Toronto. The groom’s mother is the associate dean and a professor of business programs at Utica College. His father is a professor and the chair of the entrepreneurship and strategy department at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University in Toronto. He is also the founding director of the Ted Rogers School of Information Technology Management there.
The groom’s previous marriage ended in divorce.
The couple met on the dating app Tinder in August 2015, after Mr. Grant just made it within Ms. Morrison’s very strict geographical boundary of 10 kilometers, or 6.2 miles. Ms. Morrison has historic ties to their wedding location, the Fermenting Cellar, which is part of the Gooderham & Worts Distillery District. Her great-great-great-great grandfather William Gooderham founded the distillery in 1837, which was later sold by the family in 1922. At one time, the distillery was the largest in the British Empire, and was said to have been a supplier to Al Capone during Prohibition.
