The Bride’s Diary – The Bachelorette
Another wedding milestone has come and gone. On Saturday my sister hosted my bachelorette party at Lula Lounge in Toronto. My sister struggled with the planning because I’m kind of weird.

Reality Check
There are times when I look in the mirror and don’t recognize the woman in front of me.
