Pierre Poilievre was an MP and former cabinet minister, Anaida Galindo a well-liked parliamentary aide. They met and fell in love on the Hill.
When the couple married in 2017, the wedding might well have been a full-on political affair, its guest list packed with legislators and backroom operatives.
In fact, just two people showed up — the bride and groom.
The Poilievres “eloped” to southern Portugal, arranging a wedding in a country they'd never visited, helped by a local wedding planner and photographer.
