I remember one of our very initial correspondence, he said to me, "I've been trying to meet you at the Ottawa Fashion Week but each time I tried to come over, a photographer was taking a picture of you."
That became the start of something beautiful. One thing lead to another and the next thing you know, after countless of e-mails where he is either laughing and I'm blushing or the more usual scenario - I'm laughing and he can't stop blushing, he gave me an offer that I cannot refuse...
