My story starts at university where I met Jacinda. We both started a Bachelor of Education last year and we quickly became friends. After about six weeks I decided to ask her out so I prepared a birthday card for her on the back of a puzzle. Then I split the puzzle into 7 piles and put them in 7 envelopes. I gave one envelope to her each day during the week leading up to her birthday and then the day before her birthday I gave her one more envelope which had a letter in it. At the end of the letter I asked her to date me but she wasn't allowed to open the letter until I said. On her birthday I took her out to a nice park where I had prepared a picnic and I took her a particularly nice place at the park. Then I told her she could ope the letter and when she opened it she realized it was written on a picture of the exact scenery she was staring at. She said yes and we began dating.
After about 2 months I just knew that I wanted to marry her and once we had been dating for about 9 months I started planning the proposal. I decided to send her on a treasure hunt and I asked one of our friends to help me. I told Jacinda that we were going to go Kayaking that day so she had no idea I was going to propose until the night before when our friend (Jess) gave her a call. She told her that she was no longer seeing me and that I had organized the two of them to catch up. I had told Jess to tell Jacinda that she needed to wear her nice red dress and to meet her at lunch time the next day. When they met Jacinda was presented with a portable DVD player and the first of 6 DVD's. I had recorded messages for her explaining that she was on a treasure hunt and that she needed to go certain places and talk to certain people. The first place I sent her was to a home-ware shop and the sales assistant there gave her another DVD and a present which she found out was a vase. That DVD sent her to another home-ware place where she received the next DVD and pair of champaign glasses. That DVD sent her to a florist where she got a nice bunch of red and white flowers (red to match her dress and white to match my shirt). The DVD from the florist sent her to my friends letterbox where she got a small white tablecloth and that DVD sent her to a beauty therapist where she was a facial, a manicure, a pedicure and a massage and finally that DVD sent her to a park where I was waiting. I had set up a nice outdoor table with two chairs right next to a lake in a secluded area. I got down on one knee and popped the question and got the all important yes! Then we had a toast and after that we went out to a nice restaurant for dinner.

Dear Olga,
I would like to say how much I enjoyed using your company to order my bridesmaids dresses from.
From the first contact I had immediate responses from you with answers to my enquiries regarding sizes, colour, cost delivery- everything was answered that day or the day after due to the time difference.
When I called the shop I got a very good response as well- cannot fault anything about the ordering process.
Very straight forward and easy to do as you supported me and helped me with all my enquiries.
I was kept in contact the whole time waiting for my dresses so there was no worry that they were not going to be here on time - which is a bit of a concern when I order something from the internet and especially something so important but I felt very confident I had chosen the best company to buy them from.
When the dresses came I was delighted with them! They were absolutely perfectly made and even more lovely than in the picture! They were slightly crushed as I had 2 dresses in a small box but the creases fell out overnight and the dresses were stunning. My bridesmaids loved them and looked absolutely beautiful on our day
I was so proud of them and everyone commented at how beautiful they looked. You can see in the pictures just how lovely they were.
It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Olga throughout my order and she could not have been more helpful and more prompt at replying to my emails and enquiries. I'm not sure who I spoke to on the phone but they were helpful too.Overall I experienced an absolute delightful customer service and excellent quality of dresses and made our wedding day just that extra bit special
Many thanks for all your help and I will be recommending you to all of my friends
Best wishes,
Carolyn
