Jessica & Shane Perfect Proposal

OUR STORY:
In early 2006 one of my long-time friends set me up with a guy she knew from college. He had seen a few pictures of me she had on her computer from a times we'd hung out and said he wanted to meet me. Our first meeting was planned, and then I got mono. I postponed our first date, leading him to believe I wasn't interested anymore. Finally, even though I was still a little sick, we had our first date. I had told him I wasn't able to eat much other than smooth things, like pudding and yogurt, but my roommate had just eaten the last of it. Instead of flowers. he brought me a big case of snackpacks. Adorable! I remember thinking on our first date "I'll probably marry this guy!" and I was right!

Not long after we began our relationship, my father suffered a stroke and was in the hospital for about a month. My father was so protective and loving, the best dad anyone could ever want. Even though we lived an hour apart, Shane came to visit me every weekend, and sometimes throughout the week too, knowing I needed him as I was going through this. The night before my dad died, Shane told me he loved me for the first time. I, of course, said it back and truly meant it. The next morning, Shane told me he had a dream he'd met my dad and they shook hands. When I got upstairs, my sister was walking up to the front porch, crying. She had just gotten a phone call that our father had passed away the night before and was on life support until we got to the hospital. He had passed away less than an hour after our first "I love you". I feel as though my dad knew he didn't need to protect me anymore and could let go and stop suffering. He knew I'd be okay because Shane was my angel to be my protector.

THE PROPOSAL:
A few months later, on my dad's birthday, Shane took me out on a date. He took me to the same theatre we went to on our first date, and for a walk through the same park we'd gone to on our first date as well. He took me to a beautiful spot by a pond surrounding by flowers and trees (where we'd also had our first kiss!) and got down on one knee and proposed! I was so surprised! I thought it was going to be quite awhile before he actually proposed. He chose my dad's birthday because they never got to meet in real life, and would have asked my dad before proposing. This way, he could make sure my dad was a part of the big day. He thought of everything to make the day perfect for me, and has been just as thoughtful throughout our entire relationship. I am so blessed!

Picking my wedding dress from Best for Bride was completely painless. I was a little discouraged at first and wasn't loving the dress. Everyone wanted me to choose when the sales associate Natalia asked me if I had tried on a certain dress. When I responded "no", she told me to try it on and that it was going to be my dress. She was right!! I was crying before I left the changeroom, and once my mom and wedding party saw it and started crying I knew I had found the dress. I kept losing weight leading up until the wedding and alterations was great, fitting the dress exactly how I wanted it. When I walked down the aisle and my husband started to cry I knew then just how perfect the dress was. Thank you so much for making me feel like a princess on my wedding day!!!!

Sincerely,
Melissa Filice

Hello,

My experience with Best for Bride was quite positive over all. I found employees to be quite friendly. I found the service fast and efficient, both when choosing the dress and when doing alterations. I was extremely satisfied with the dress that I bought. Last, but not least, your prices can't be beat!
I've attached a photo from our wedding day that shows off most of the dress. I hope you'll like it.

Thanks and take care : )
Carla

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
