Local Entrepreneurs Tie the Knot!
Reg and Patti met at the Farmer’s Market so it was only fitting that a market theme was the background for their ceremony. Their vows contained a marvelous and purely Canadian twist, too….Patti vowed to forsake all other hockey teams and, to join Reg, she would forever take the Toronto Maple Leafs as her one true team!
Reg and Patti own and operate two businesses in Perth-Andover.. Patti opened Patti’s Gift Shoppe in the West Riverside Plaza mall in 2005, right after the mall was built.
This is a lovely little store with lots of nifty gift items, candles, jewelry, wall art, décor and much more. You’ll be able to find a lovely gift for any event, or new décor to spruce up your own home when you stop in to visit.
Grant’s offers full auto service to take care of all your automotive needs…maintenance, tires, brakes, gas, diesel, inspections and so on, and it also offers full service in the old fashioned, home-town sense…the office is run by Reg’s Gal Friday Rose and contains a row of comfy chairs and a perpetual pot of coffee on the go for patrons and visitors alike.
It offers the personal touch, comfort and character…in short, it has a soul….all the things that are so important to our human hearts and that make our small villages truly home.
We have small businesses like this in all of our rural communities that have a personal connection to their clients and customers. Everyone knows your name!
Reg and Patti believe in and are invested in the future of Perth-Andover. The Service Centre has just gotten a new, major facelift and looks great. Especially considering the thrashing the building took during the March flood!
Stop in soon to say hi and fill up on gas, coffee and the latest scuttlebutt!

Reg & Patti’s Wedding Vows reminded us of this amusing but psychologically insightful joke.
The next time you can’t figure out what the heck your significant other is going on about, maybe this will help clarify their thought processes!
HER SIDE OF THE STORY
He was in an odd mood when I got to the bar. I thought it might have been my fault because I was a bit late but he didn’t say anything much about it. I don’t remember doing anything to make him upset, but I could tell there was something wrong. The conversation was quite slow going so I thought we should go off somewhere more intimate so we could talk more privately.
We went to this restaurant and he was STILL acting a bit funny. I was getting really worried. What did I do? What was bothering him? Was he mad at me? I tried to cheer him up, but continued to wonder what was bothering him. Was it me or something else? I asked him if he was upset with me, and he said no. But I wasn’t really sure. So anyway, on the way back to his house, I told him that I loved him and he just put his arm around me! I didn’t know what that meant because, you know, he didn’t say it back or anything. We finally got back to his place and I was wondering if he was going to break up with me! Why didn’t he want to talk about this? So I tried to ask him about it, but he just switched on the TV. Why would he rather watch TV than talk to me? Reluctantly, I said I was going to sleep, hoping he would get the hint that I was upset and wanted to talk. I was so hurt that he was out there watching TV while I was in the bedroom going through emotional turmoil. After about 10 minutes, he joined me and we made love. I thought that maybe he would open up to me after we shared an intimate experience like that, but he still seemed really distracted. I just wanted to leave because I was so upset, but instead I just cried myself to sleep. He didn’t even notice how upset I was! I don’t know, I just don’t know what he thinks anymore. I don’t know what to feel anymore. I’m on emotional overload. I’m so confused. I don’t think he loves me anymore. Why does he have to play mind games with me? I mean, do you think he’s met someone else???
HIS SIDE OF THE STORY
Leafs lost. Felt kinda tired. Got laid though.
