Remembering her day, McKenzie commented “For those that know me well (which is, Samantha!) you will know that I am not really into dresses, weddings and girlie things… So when I first arrived at Sam’s she already had four dresses picked out for me, thank goodness! Within moments of trying the first few dresses on, Sam and I quickly realised what I liked and didn’t like. And before I knew it, we had found the dress I loved and Sam was adding her special touches to it to really make it my own.”
“Sam made my dress shopping experience so easy, unforgettable and great fun. For the average girl, I think the dress shopping is the part everyone looks forward to. For me, it wasn’t! But visiting Sam was not a chore at all; in fact I couldn’t wait to see her and the dress (and her mum, Anne) every time. As I said before, I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”
