My sister Rachel, my dad, and me, shopping for my sister’s wedding dress at Kleinfeld. I pulled some strings and arranged for us to appear on an episode of
Say Yes to the Dress
together. After the difficult year I’d put my family through, it was important to put the focus on Rachel and her big day.

My family has always been my rock. They’ve supported me through everything and they continue to challenge me to be the best person I can be. Here we are together in 2013, celebrating Rachel’s wedding day. (
