"I don't have the pictures back yet from the photographer (when I do I'll send a group shot) but I wanted you to see how perfect your material was for my wedding. The shot enclosed is of my brother walking me down the aisle in a shirt my mother made using the fabric you sent. The wedding was held at The Polynesian Resort at Walt Disney World, FL. Your service was wonderful, the wedding was a dream. Thank you!"
