Next up in our wedding party introductions, our Best Man, Kolja!
Kolja grew up in Ontario thinking that carrots were "sweets", and attended the University of New Brunswick (UNB) at the same time as Eric. While Eric and Kolja were friends in University, it was in Calgary while working for Fluor (see, I told you that would come up again) that they became good friends.
Both Eric and Kolja are outdoor enthusiasts, and they spent many weekends going back and forth to the mountains to ski, bike, climb, camp and hike.. you name it! Like us, Kolja likes to travel as well, and has recently spent time in the Bahamas, Argentina and Spain.  |

Working at Fluor, Kolja became a good friend of mine as well, and together we planned and hosted Eric's 30th birthday surprise party. And that's not where Kolja's hosting skills end! He is well known for his salads, hamburgers and apple crisp! IKEA has even named a mirror after this Martha protege!
We had thought that Kolja would make a good Maritimer (or "Merry Timer"), but now that he has himself a lovely western girl, we will have twice as hard a job to convince the two of them to join us on the coast.
In fact, we hope all of you who are able to attend our wedding help us make an irresistable sales pitch to our friends from the West!
- Erin
