Hi, I'm Cody...
and I'm Maria - we're a couple..
We've been married for about 9 months.
We live in lovely Ottawa, Ontario, Canada,...
...where the temperature is currently well below zero.
The reason we got married... our lifes have been very hectice...
...with work and bills and schedules....
...phone calls, emails, deadlines, latenights,...
...sleepless nights, early mornings, long days.
It was getting to the point, where we felt like we didn't have any time together anymore.
We needed to bonding in.
Since our wedding, we've been getting this great magazine called "2".
It's a magazine just for couples...
They run a contest - every issue for an all expenses paid trip to a Club Med Resort...
for a couples makeover-experience.
So we applied.
We wrote an email to the publisher - we sent some pictures of ourselves...
... and told them all about - who we are - and why we needed their help.
A few weeks later we got a call.
We've been chosen for the couples makeover trip for the "Spring 2007" issue.
So they arranged for us to come to Toronto...
...gave us a hole bunch of free stuff...
...and put us on a plane with a full makeover-crew...
... including a photographer - an assistent - a style expert ...
...a rider - the magazine publisher and a camera crew.
And that's where the adventure began!
