Renata Fast, a 29-year-old professional hockey player, met Paul Geiger, a 31-year-old financial analyst, in 2012, when they both got full scholarships to play hockey for Clarkson University in upstate New York.

The relationship grew as their careers progressed, bringing Geiger to Europe and Fast to Calgary (to train for the women’s national ice hockey team, for which she eventually took home an Olympic silver medal in 2018 and a gold in 2022).

After an intimate engagement at their downtown Toronto condo, the couple got married in Fast’s parents’ backyard in Burlington, with a ceremony that included custom-made Adidas runners, personalized champagne bottles and the who’s who of women’s hockey.

The band was fantastic. They had a repertoire of songs that Renata and I could choose from. We picked some older sing-along songs and some newer, more upbeat pop songs. We didn’t want anything slow—we wanted songs that people could dance to. In between the band’s sets, there was a DJ playing newer music.

The DJ played until about 2 a.m., but a handful of our family and friends stayed in the tent with us until 4 a.m., just talking and reminiscing. I was on a natural high the whole night. It felt like the best night of our lives. It was so much fun.
