Since we live on the internet, we have trouble giving the mainstream media any credit for anything. (Hey, they never give us nods!) But we have to hand it to the Vancouver Sun for correctly identifying the resort where Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson got married. It was one of two places they'd previously picked out, knowing only that they were at "a remote mountain resort" outside Vancouver.

According to Perez, Johansson and Reynolds got hitched at the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort, where their 40 guests, invited by text message, enjoyed fishing and horseback riding and bedded down in tents. No photos have leaked from the ceremony but we hope his'n'hers Wellies were involved.

We've updated our Scarlett & Ryan Wedding Map in case you're planning to pair off.

Many stars pay lip service to privacy, but few actually take steps to get it. Scarlett Johansson did such a good job of keeping her weekend wedding to fellow actor Ryan Reynolds under wraps, even local authority the Vancouver Sun dithered between two "remote mountain resorts" where the nuptials could have happened.

Johansson and Reynolds reportedly had a small ceremony attended mostly by family, without the red-carpet arrivals of other weddings.

But Jaunted is on the trail to find out where we can get hitched like Scarlett: Check out our Scarlett & Ryan's Wedding Map, which will be updated as potential locations roll in.

The film festivals keep on rolling in. In fact, the Vancouver International Film Festival is only about a week away: It starts September 25 and runs through October 10.

Now in its 27th year, the festival is set to show more than 300 films from more than 60 countries. Organizers were certainly overwhelmed this year, as the festival received over 150,000 admissions, making it one of the largest to take place in North America.

The VIFF seeks to stand out from the rest by screening the largest number of East Asian films outside that region. Also, it has one of the largest collections of Canadian films in the world as well as a documentary program called Nonfiction Features.]]> kjb 2008-09-17T12:30:29-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/8/15/125411/660

Back in April, we filled you in on Daryl and Davy Vogel, 10-year-old twin brothers planning to ride from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina. (They were nice enough to invite their parents along.) And though they've "only" made it to British Columbia so far, they've already managed to set a world record: They're the youngest duo to ever bike the whole 1,422-mile historic Alaska Highway.

Daryl took some time to write a blog post about the accomplishment:

WooHoo! We made it to "Mile 0." While we were riding there, Davy rode right in front of a car. Luckily he made it back to the shoulder in time. We got to stay at the Best Western. They have a waterslide!

After the kids finally got out of the pool, the family kept heading south. Only 27,700 miles left to go!

Police are trying to figure out why human feet keep washing up on beaches along Canada's West Coast. Five severed feet have been found in an area south of Vancouver in the past year. The latest incident occurred on Monday at Westham Island.

The psycho responsible for the beached feet hasn't left many clues, and none of the body parts have been traced to their owners.

The foot that appeared on Monday was the first right foot to be involved in the mystery. The first four feet found were all chopped from people's left side. Perhaps there's a serial killer/performance artist out there in Canada who's trying to make some sort of political statement?

More likely, the foot-cutting psycho is probably a super-discerning foot fetishist with a beachfront condo. Either way, if you're visiting Vancouver any time soon it might be a good idea to wear closed toed shoes to avoid attracting any unwanted attention.

So checking out the wildlife at your local ski resort doesn't do it for you? That's where Great Bear Tours comes in.

The swanky outfit has its own floating wind-and-solar-powered lodge, which you can only reach via seaplane. On arrival, you'll be whisked away to your room--surprisingly complete with private bath. Depending on how much you want to see and how much you have to spend, you can stay for up to seven nights.

Each day you'll head out in a small group with a wildlife expert. You'll check out estuaries by kayak and inlets by boat, all in search of Yogi and friends. Best of all, when you return each night you'll be pampered with fine food and wine--no "pick-a-nick" basket meals here.

You have to get in touch for pricing info so you can bet your trip won't be cheap. But isn't it worth paying those professionals a little extra when wild animals are within striking distance? Better start listing your teddy bears on eBay now to fund your adventure.

We love that scene in "The Great Outdoors" when John Candy takes the kids to the dump to watch the bears feed off garbage. Things start getting a little out hand after the bears mount the hood of their car, remember? Funny, sure, but it's not necessarily the way we'd go about bear watching. Luckily the folks at Whistler/Blackcomb resort have come up with a better way to do some wildlife spotting.

Bear expert Michael Allen has been studying the animals in British Columbia for the last 15 years. His work with bears has been internationally recognized, and he's the host of the BBC's Natural World program "In the Company of Bears." For $190, Mike will take you out at sunset--in a 4x4 and on foot--to see bears in their natural habitat without having to worry about being disemboweled or otherwise maimed.

You'll drive and walk through old growth Hemlock forests and high-alpine meadows to see bear dens, bear daybeds and--if you're lucky--a mother and cub playing together. Something this precious is usually only reserved for the fronts of Hallmark sympathy cards, so steel your nerves to fend off the tears.
