Timi says, “Annie was such a sweet bride genuinely in love and full of joy which made it a pleasure working with her. So much so I have named the dress she wore after her. She looked beautiful. The highlight for me was when she cried at her first fitting; innately I felt a sense of fulfillment and reward.”
