I’m excited to share a link to an article that I had a lot of fun writing: a wedding flashback from Ben and Jessica Mulroney for the Spring/Summer 2015 issue of Today’s Bride magazine.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to check out Fashion Saturday at World Mastercard Fashion Week in Toronto. My sister-in-law and I hit the road for a fairly smooth drive into the big city, though the Don Valley Parkway was closed for maintenance, and anyone who lives outside the downtown will understand how that […] Read more…
