It’s official. Canada’s Prince Charming has finally met his match.

Rex Harrington — the man who, in more than two decades dancing with the National Ballet of Canada, rose to become one of the world’s foremost balletic leading men — is finally tying the knot.

His forthcoming marriage to his companion of six years, consultant Robert Hope, was announced yesterday by the NBOC, where Harrington now serves as Artist in Residence. The couple became engaged in March while visiting France, and will be married this summer.

Harrington is slated to return to the NBOC stage June 19, dancing the role of Prince Gremin in the newly designed ONEGIN, opening at the Four Seasons.
