Ryan and Jennifer, symbolic wedding in Rome

Rome, November 27^th, 2009.

Letter from the mother of bride

Dear Laura,

I want to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to you for all you did to bring about the glorious wedding day for Jennifer and Ryan in Rome. Jennifer said it was the best day of her life and my heart was so joyful to see how happy she was with all of the preparations. My husband and I could not have given her such a wonderful day without your help. Please know how much we appreciate your hard work in such a short amount of time. I highly recommend you and your company and all of the vendors you chose for us.

Federica was so wonderful. She had such a warm and welcoming personality and brought us through the day so perfectly. I especially am grateful to her for her assistance at the Palazzo Brancaccio on Thursday and also with the visit to the florist. When I entered the Casina di Caccia on Friday I could not believe how beautiful it looked. The florist did an amazing job with the floral arrangements!!! Next to seeing the happiness on Jennifer's face as she stepped out of the car to enter the Casina, and walking down the aisle with her Dad, my first glimpse of the beautiful flowers was my favorite moment of the day. I will send Mr. Steiner a note with my gratitude. Thank you for recommending him to us.

Ms. Yvonne Kellman at the Hasssler Hotel was lovely. The room was very beautiful and all of our guests enjoyed it greatly. The dinner was outstanding and the staff was very kind and we were grateful that they allowed us those extra minutes. The music was just the right touch and the musicians were wonderful. Also the harpist and flautist played very beautifully at the ceremony. As we arrived late and left within minutes I did not get a chance to speak with them but please let them know how much we enjoyed their music.

Mr. Rossi and his wife Diane performed a beautiful ceremony. It was a very meaningful and emotional moment and they had the kindest faces! They were wonderful and most patient with Jennifer as she planned the ceremony with them. I am very grateful to them for that. I also was a little afraid that because it was a symbolic ceremony it would not feel real to me, but they truly made the ceremony authentic and that is what I shall always remember . It was a blessing to have them as part of Jennifer and Ryan's wedding ceremony.

I also want to thank you for the services of the hairdresser and his assistant. They were so kind to Jennifer and they made her especially beautiful for her special day. Again, a wonderful choice on your part that was much appreciated.

Finally, we all enjoyed watching the photographer and his assistant photograph the wedding and also the videographer Rizzo film the video. All three gentleman were most kind and I am looking forward to seeing their work and reliving the day through their eyes. I hope that you also get to see their finished product.

In closing, I wish to thank you again for everything. My heart is full of gratitude and joy.

Kindest Regards,

Anne White
