The ONLY thing kept after the Marriage is over...

{ Just so you know, it was the only thing I kept from all of the wedding memorabilia }


Around the beginning of 2010 I had requested a few of my past clients to review me on Wedding Wire.  My Client Deanna was kind enough to do so.  She wrote one of the most amazing and glowing reviews I've gotten in all my years. (it's by Echospin wedding 3/4/2006)

 I was quite taken aback upon reading it, so of course I sent her an email to thank her very much.   Her reply was sad yet amazing again.   Turns out her and her husband had split up.   It was a horrible marriage :(   But things are coming back to gether for her.  Here's an excerp from her reply... This too touched my heart so  much.  

THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME WANT TO KEEP DOING WHAT I DO!

I just wanted to make sure someone reading it realized that you actually care about your customers which is a very rare thing these days especially for someone who specializes in items that will not normally generate repeat business from the same customer. Whether you think it is a big deal or not, what you did for me really did add something special to my wedding day. Not only was it my "Something Blue" but it created one more connection to my heritage. Like I said in my review, the garter really was one of the very last things for me to get and I never in my wildest dreams considered buying one to keep since "no one was going to see it anyway." But the fact that the unique design reflected who I am and what I cherish in my life made it all worthwhile. For that I truly thank you.


And just so you know, it was the only thing I kept from all of the wedding memorabilia (the cards, photos, certificate, etc.) when I moved to my new place. Even though the whole relationship is a chapter in my life I would very much like to put behind me, I could not get rid of the garter. For although I do not have fond memories of my "marriage," I do have several fond memories of my wedding day and the delicate beauty of the garter personified my hopes and dreams that I had with me on that day.

Thank you again for you kind wishes. I look forward to the day when I will "have an excuse" to bug you again to purchase another of your creative gems!
Cheers,
Deanna
