Let's Tie One On...
/I like this story…
Aaron Dahl says he was having some trouble finding the perfect tie for his upcoming wedding.
He and his fiancee, Brenna Fraser, hadn't hit upon the right piece to match his suit to her dress.
Then he was watching the news on the CBC in Canada and he noticed the tie Vancouver-based anchor Ian Hanomansing was wearing a tie what he thought was perfect.
So, he DM’d Hanomansing via Twitter and asked where he could buy that tie?
"He responded right away; he said 'send address, I'll send the tie,'" Dahl explains.
Dahl sent his address and moved on with life.
"I kinda forgot about it," he says. "About 10 days later a package showed up on the front step."
Inside was the tie and a handwritten note from Hanomansing congratulating the soon-to-be-wed couple, taking Dahl a bit by surprise, as he had figured the odd request might have been lost in the shuffle of a busy life.
"The fact he took the time to follow up, to say congrats, to hand-write a card, it's a lovely gesture," says Dahl. "Even if he just reached back to say I don't know that would have been great.
"The fact he went out of his way to enhance our day and give us a great story to tell is wonderful."
The wedding went forward, in Cape Breton, without a hitch.
"It was fantastic, beautiful weather," says Dahl, adding the wedding was exactly what the couple wanted.
And the tie added to that.
How cool is that?
