Wow! I wonder who did the music ...

Can't say we didn't expect it. :^) Congratulations to them.

Many congrats to them! Looking forward to seeing pics, and that's a good question - Who played the music?

Belated best wishes from me too but
Yes yes Dell me boy it's hard to believe anything at all on that website which is apparently some sort of parody of the wonderfully inventive, highly amusing and therefore entertaining Globe Magazine:-

Their other stories about Gord include a claim that Kim was sporting baby bump on New Years Eve and the following elaboration of Gord's wealth as previously alluded to here by Char
Gordon Lightfoot Highest-Paid Singer in the World (http://www.corfid.com/vbb/l)
see:-
http://en.mediamass.net/people/gordon-lightfoot/highest-paid.html
http://johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/images/00_Gord_highest_paid.jpg

"It's been a rough year for the singer, but at least he has his millions of dollars to ease the pain. 76-year-old Gordon Lightfoot has taken the No. 1 spot on People With Money’s top 10 highest-paid singers for 2015 with an estimated $58 million in combined earnings.
Gordon Lightfoot tops annual list of highest-paid singers
In 2012 it looked like the singer’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (January 1) that Lightfoot is the highest-paid singer in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between December 2013 and December 2014, a nearly $30 million lead over his closest competition.
People With Money’s factors
In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The Canadian singer-songwriter-musician-poet has an estimated net worth of $185 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the "Fat Lightfoot Burger" chain) in Ottawa, a Football Team (the "Orillia Angels"), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderlightfoot - Canada), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Gordon) and a fashion line called "Gordon Lightfoot Seduction".
The ranking is significant for many Gordon fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime."

I like the "update" from 03/01/2015 that this (financial) information is apparently incorrect. Lol. No duh. I thought I was reading The Onion.

So did Gordon Lightfoot Secretly get Married?
　
I have googled this news but cannot find any official report of this alleged momentous event and mediamass have obviously completely invented their claimed
"Reports from the Ottawa Daily News yesterday (January 11, 2015), "
because that seem to be an entirely fictional newspaper
However If it were true then no doubt surely our corfid member
Kenyon Wallace whose linked in profile stresses that he is an
"Investigative Journalist at Toronto Star"
should by now have produced something.....anything in print in that authoritative Toronto medium, even if only a complete debunking report??

How's about it Kenyon??
Any comment at all at all??

[charlene]

John - did you see the announcement from the church where the wedding occurred? it is in the FIRST post of this thread.
Mediamass is crap.

[johnfowles]

John - did you see the announcement from the church where the wedding occurred? it is in the FIRST post of this thread.
Mediamass is crap.
Of course I read and inwardly digested the church's allegations
and of course I realized (since when silly spellchecker is realized spelt with a zed (zee)??)that mediamass is basically rather enjoyable speculative horse droppings
but the point is that surely that if a national icon such as Gordon really has remarried it merits full reporting by the mass media CBC the Star etc.
How do you know that the Church was not itself flying a very holy hole-y kite?
I maintain that if it indeed really took place (and hope it did) there is presumably a church registry record that somebody who is used to "investigative" activities can verify either at the church or online.

[Melissa]

Gee, if the church says they were married there, that's good enough for me. Why would the church make that up?

Melissa

[charlene]

unless Lightfoot made it a point to notify the press there'd really not be much interest in the fact that he re-married except for a small blurb in one of those little side notes in the paper...
and there hasn't been so the church announcement is what I'm going by...
Really John - do you think a church is going to put out false info like that about one of it's most well known congregants? We have privacy laws in this country...
I'll see the newlyweds this saturday and sunday...

[Melissa]

Oooh, that's right - Hugh's Room shows this weekend! Should be great. Wish I could be there, but it's way too cold up there for me!

Melissa

[charlene]

it's too freaking cold for me too! lol.. extreme cold alerts are happening! ugh. But once inside Hugh's it's warm and toasty and the music is sublime.These shows have been starting my new year off since 2003! hard to believe this is the 13th set of shows... man oh man...
it's worth heading to TO in the bitter cold!! http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu324/inspirationlady/_MG_0895.jpg (http://s660.photobucket.com/user/inspirationlady/media/_MG_0895.jpg.html)

Very nice!

Does anyone have a nice photo of Kim?

Don't even see why he should notify the public about his personal life anyhow.

[charlene]

exactly - he shouldn't, nor would he. he's never been one to seek press other than to pump a new release..

at Hugh's Room in January - Gordon with Meredith and Kim...

Great picture...Kim looks nice, well they all do. Thanks for posting.

[lighthead2toe]

This is a beautiful photo.

An abundance of happiness in those very happy looking faces.

[JohninCt.]

Thanks Charlene, that is a nice photo, she's a peach for sure.

[paskatefan]

Very sweet photo of them all! Thanks, Char.

Aw ... how nice!

Gail

[Lisa J]

nice pictures. i didn't notice it until now, but Gordon and Kim got married on my birthday. good day for a wedding!

[JBrew]

They look very happy, but I have to wonder- how much younger is she than his older kids?

[charlene]

she's not younger than any of them.
Fred is 51 this year and Ingrid is 50 this year..
Kim is 54 I believe..

[JBrew]

That's good to hear. I always thought it annoying when older men marry much younger women. Yet another reason to like and respect Mr. Lightfoot.

[charlene]

she's 22 years younger .. that's a substantial difference... but the previous marriage had a similar age difference. He was younger by a few years than his first wife Brita..

[JBrew]

Thanks-I'd forgotten to use my calculator! Seriously though, I meant that it's nice to see he married a mature woman who's seen a bit of life ( I would assume) and not a twenty-something swimsuit model.

[JohninCt.]

It's nice to see them both so happy. I think it has been a good year for them with her touring with him. I met her finally, and sat next to her during a concert. Everyone who has met her has said great things about her. She is such a sweet girl with genuine compassion for people. They both got a prize and I hope they stay happy forever. Congratulations on their 1st year.

[charlene]

Happy 2nd anniversary to the Mr.and Mrs...

[paskatefan]

Happy 2nd Anniversary to Kim & Gordon! We got to talk to her after the concert in Morristown, NJ this past September, and she was genuinely sweet.

Gail

[JohninCt.]

Happy 2nd Anniversary, and many more.

[Patti]

I'll bet you wish it was your 2nd anniversary with him, don't you, Yosemite Sam?

[charlene]

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th anniversary to the lovely couple!

[MistyMoppens]

It's great to see Gordon finally happy & obviously completely content & settled. I love Kim's ever present sweet smile!

[JohninCt.]

I think her touring with him all the time makes it a lot easier for him, and for Rick too, who had to do the right hand man chores before.
