I had just lost my Dad and had the year from hell, beginning college as a mature student and preparing for Marcus' departure. I took a summer job to help pay for my schooling, leaving little time to spend with Marcus before he had to deploy. We had been together for 3 years and have had the time of our lives exploring Alberta and living in Toronto and were soon to be heading to Paris, England, Scotland & Ireland during his down time from Afghanistan . We were having a family gathering re-shingling my Mom's roof and a birthday party for myself, my niece and nephew that I had arranged and wasn't able to attend. Little did I know that my Mom had called my boss and told her of the plans for that afternoon and getting me the afternoon off. Before Marcus left for training when my Dad was sick; Marcus snuck back to my house and asked my Daddy for permission to marry me fearing he might not have another chance. Marcus' fear proved to be true. We lost my Dad in April. During the afternoon of the birthday party on July 5th (my birthday) Marcus asked me to go for a walk. He took me down to the lake to a rock overlooking the gorgeous sunset on Lake Couchiching - the exact spot where my Dad had proposed to my Mom. We sat down and talked for a while reminisced about my Dad. I suggested we head back before we lost the sun completely unless there was anything else and never suspecting a thing. Marcus said that there was and then started to get up and repositioned himself onto one knee and asked me - will you do me the honor of becoming my wife; Mandy will you marry me? In the same spot my Dad almost dropped my Mom's ring in the lake Marcus knelt there trembling as I bawled my eyes out and he had to ask 'is that a yes?'

Hello Olga,

Thank you so much for your professionalism and for my amazing dress!!

It came on time, it looked even more beautiful than the description and I had little girls pointing and waving at me on my walk to the ceremony.
I had never felt more like a princess than on my special day.

Thank you, again, for making my day one of a kind.

Hi Katarina,

Just thought you would like to see pictures of the dresses that you altered. The dresses were perfect. You can see Rebecca's maid of honour dress along with the other bridesmaids. You can also see what my daughter Candice's wedding dress looked like.

The wedding was on August 14th and it was a most beautiful day.

Thank you so much for your wonderful work. You made us look so good. In fact one of my coworkers wants to buy the same dress that I had.

I will refer people to Best for Bride and to you.

Many thanks
Janet Kamienik

Dear Olga and the Best for Bride Team,

Thank you for the dream wedding dress.

I found here great selection of wedding dresses at most reasonable prices. You do not need to see another store. Shopping at BfB is a wonderful experience, and be prepared to spend here close to three hours trying on those wonderful dresses. Bring in your bridesmaids and the whole extended family to make this experience even more pleasurable and festive (just like in those shows on TV). Lucy was my shopping associate helping me to find THE RIGHT DRESS. You can say that: "I love Lucy". She is a good listener and she always brings the exact dress that I wanted to try on next. It certainly seems that she knows the whole inventory by heart. She is brutally honest with her opinions which are of great help. You can trust her point of view. The major assets of this store are: Lucy, endless inventory of dresses, reasonable prices, and the overall customer service. I found the dream dress that fits for the occasion of a lifetime.

Thank you.

Elena P.
