  • Corey Talks: My Wedding – Getting Ready

    The day of the wedding was fairly relaxed.  It goes without saying though that inevitably, there will be things that go wrong so the best you can do is breathe and go with the flow.  My hairstylist cancelled at the last minute and sent someone else.  Things were running behind.  My shoes didn’t work in…

  • Corey Talks: My DIY Projects
