Peter Feidelberg and Meredith Ewart moved from Montreal to the United States in 1997 and were married in March 2000. However, since many family members and friends couldn't attend the ceremony, they held a second one in August 2001.
They lived in Hoboken, New Jersey, and both worked for Aon Corp. on the 104th floor of the World Trade Center's south tower.
Meredith's father, Robert Ewart, remembers frantically calling hospitals and the police in New York and, at one point, he thought Feidelberg had survived based on a false Internet report.
"We spent the night trying to contact people, but by Wednesday we pretty well had lost hope. By Friday, we knew," he said.
He planned on attending the memorial service in New York. "This seemed to be the place to remember our loss."
New York Times Portraits of Grief
Meredith Ewart, 29, and Peter Feidelberg, 34, had a romance that began in a corporate office in Montreal. They took their vows in a civil ceremony at the Municipal Building in Manhattan.
And more than a year after that, they held the reception back home in Quebec, at a country inn where friends and family danced and toasted their happiness under bright sunny skies.
"They really loved each other," said Robert Ewart, Ms. Ewart's father. "I never heard them fight, never heard them bicker."
Both worked at Aon Corporation , on the 104th floor of 2 World Trade Center. Their long-planned wedding party finally took place on Aug. 11 at an inn a few miles from Otterburn Park, Ms. Ewart's hometown, where about 90 guests gathered. The weather, so hot and sticky most of August, became clear and mild for the occasion.
"He was just a prince of a fellow, and we just loved him," Ms. Ewart's father said of Mr. Feidelberg. "At the end I went over, and I said, `I love you, Mer,' and she said, `I love you, Dad.' "
Mr. Feidelberg, an avid skier and bicyclist, had recently returned from a trip to Germany, where he hiked in the mountains with his father. "I was fortunate to travel with him," said his father, Michael. "It's a very big loss."
Ms. Ewart was born on June 25, 1972, her father's 33rd birthday, and they always celebrated together, with two cakes — orange for him, chocolate for her. But last year, she and her husband bought a house in Hoboken, N.J., and could not make it to Montreal for the big day.
As they went for a walk that evening, Mr. Feidelberg told her he regretted that he had never formally proposed to her. "So he got down on his knees and said, `Meredith, will you marry me?' " Mr. Ewart said, "And he gave her this gorgeous diamond engagement ring. Needless to say, she accepted the proposal, and the birthday present."

I still can't believe it. It's like I can still hear her making fun of my spiked Corey Hart hair while sitting on The Bench at RVR. She was always a good friend of mine never hurtful and always there to help console or laugh with you. I still remember the day and then the realization that she was one of the innocent trapped in such a horrible nightmare. Mer you will always be in my thoughts. Your friend Mike Squarek

I went to Cegep at Champlain with Meredith. I just looked at pictures of her and it reminded me of the laughs we shared in the cafeteria. She was a wonderful person, true to her feelings and very genuine. Thank you for sharing these pictures.
