On February 29th, 2008, Prime
Ministers Stephen Harper and
Milan Topolanek were meeting in
Toronto at the St. Wenceslas
Church. Tom was
catering the event
and Kristina just
h a p p e n e d t o b e
t h e r e t o h a v e
pictures taken with
the Prime Ministers.
They caught each
other’s eye early on
in the evening and,
after some harmless
flirting, exchanged
phone numbers .
Tom gave Kristina a
box of delicious pastries and won
her heart over.
A day later, Kristina went to The
Prague to ‘get some dumplings’
and see Tom again. Unfortunately,
both were seeing other people at
the time and it took a few months
before they saw each other again.
In early June, Kristina had a photo-
shoot nearby and stopped in at the
restaurant only to find out that she
and Tom were both going to Europe
on the same day!
Unfortunately, they
did not get to meet
up while they were
there. However, two
days after they got
back, they met up at
Czech and Slovak
C a n a d a D a y a t
Masaryktown on
J u n e 2 1 s t -
Midsummer Night.
Along with a large
b o n f i r e a n d a
spectacular full moon, love was in
the air. She and Tom spent the
whole night getting to know each
other. This was their first night as a
couple and although Kristina
moved to Ottawa two weeks later,
they made it through the long-
distance relationship. Six months
later, Kristina relocated back to
Toronto, and moved in with Tom. 9
Love at First Sight

The Proposal
Tom chose the perfect time and
day to propose - the one day I
would not have expected him to do
so. It was a complete surprise.
Monday, June 21st, 2010, the day
after the Miss Czech
and Slovak Canada
Pageant where I won
as First Vice Miss, all
my thoughts were still
on the excitement of
the day before. It was a l s o
our two-year anniversary, so when
he came into the room with wine
and a present, I didn’t think
anything so big would be coming
my way. The present was a white
wedding garter, with which he
explained that he wanted me to
know that he was being serious
about proposing soon, ‘but he
couldn’t afford the ring yet’. I
laughed it off, put the garter aside,
and when I looked back, there he
was with the box, inside was the
ring. I was so shocked, and Tom is
such a joker, that I couldn’t believe
it was happening until
he actually spoke the
words. Of course I said
yes immediately. Then
a f t e r a s u d d e n
emotional burst of
laughing and crying, we
called up my family and shared the
exciting news - Tom’s family found
out in the morning.
That whole week was spent
celebrating. Tuesday we went for a
nice dinner together, Wednesday
and Thursday we met up with
friends, and on Friday, Tom took
me to see a ballet performance of
Onegin. 9
Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in
looking outward together in the same direction.

Future Plans
The future looks bright for Tom and
Kristina. After the wedding they plan on
moving to British Columbia as soon as
they can. They plan on settling down on
Vancouver Island, somewhere North of
Victoria, where they can build their
dream house, complete with a Food
Studio for Tom, and a Dance Studio for
Kristina. They look forward to having
children in the next year or two, so you
can look forward to seeing those little
faces soon enough - no need to pressure
this couple. Although it will be difficult to
leave family and friends in Toronto, Tom
and Kristina believe that the West Coast
will be best for the kind of life they want
to lead and raise their children in. All are
welcome to visit them in their new home,
once they find it - view it as just another
reason to go for a vacation in Beautiful
British Columbia.
Tom and Kristina will continue to keep in
touch with family and friends, but if you
ever need to contact them, you can
always email them at:

The Crest
The vines that surround the
crest form a heart shape, which
was completely devised by
Claire, but now that I think
about it, it can be very symbolic
of our joint love for nature.
The banner, ‘Per aspera ad a s t r a ’ m e a n s ‘ T h r o u g h hardships to the Stars’ in Latin. Since its a medievally inspired themed wedding, we felt this was fitting. It is our way of realizing that life is difficult, but as long as we have each other we’ll get through whatever difficulties come our way.
The bunny and the kitty cat have a
particularly special meaning. Some
of you might know that the root of
Kristina’s last name, Kott, means
‘tomcat’ in Old Slavic. The bunny
on the other hand might have
some of you confused, since Tom’s
last name, Král, means ‘king’. Let
me tell their fairytale of ‘The
Rabbit King’. One day Tom the
King came to the castle of a noble
family, having been invited for
dinner. The mother of the princess
was a very clever magician. She
particularly mastered in the arts of
ridicule. The king, unawares, came
to the dinner party.Within seconds,
the princess’ mother added an
11
endearing diminutive to the king’s
name, turning him from Král (king)
into Králíček (little king).
Unfortunately, the same word
means “little rabbit” as well. Since
Czechs eat rabbits, the palace
immediately put knives to the poor
rabbit king’s throat. However, the
good princess saw how handsome
the Rabbit King was, and so she
saved him from his fate. With one
true love’s kiss, the spell was
broken. The Rabbit King turned
back into his original form, saving
him from the fiery oven. And this is
why Tom has become known as
‘bunny’ and therefore the tasty
animal graces our crest. The End 9
The crown signifies Tom’s last name, Kral, which means ‘king’ in Czech (also one of the reasons for the medievally-inspired theme).
The mountains on the crest symbolize two things: originally, my family has a coat of arms that depicts White Mountain from Czech Republic, and apart from this it also symbolizes our move to the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia.
The scales on the top of the crest,
and the arrow holding the scales
up, symbolize our astrological
signs, Libra and Sagittarius.
