Cuddling up to her manager and fiancé, Celine was presented with a diamond record for ‘The Colour of My Love’ in Montreal in 1994. The album sold more than a million copies in Canada and six million copies worldwide, and would mark the first of many achievements that the husband-and-wife team would accomplish together.
