Love stories like Paul and Arina’s remind us that true connection transcends borders. Paul, an orthopedic surgeon with a passion for helping others, found himself captivated by Arina’s smile and her spirit. As their bond deepened, Paul discovered Russian Flora—a service that allowed him to send flowers internationally. Which ultimately brought joy and closeness to their long-distance relationship. In this interview, Paul and Arina share their journey of love. Along with the role of gifts in keeping their connection strong, and how Russian Flora became a trusted partner in their story.
How They Met
Question: “What is the story that led you to sending gifts abroad to your partner? How did you meet, and what prompted you to start sending gifts overseas?”
- Paul: “Well, like a lot of people nowadays we met online. There was something about her eyes and smile that just stunned me. It was as if I was looking at a part of my soul. After a couple of months of conversations I found out that she had never been given flowers before. I wanted to be the first person, but I also wanted to be the last person to do so.”
Overcoming Distance with Sending flowers Internationally
Question: “How did sending gifts abroad to your partner change your relationship? Did it bring you closer together or help you overcome the distance?”
Paul: “Sending Arina flowers and gifts has had an impact on our relationship. I once explained to her that there were three things I always took into account when placing an order. 1 Needs. 2 Wants. And my personal favorite – 3. Pamper. It led to many conversations on likes and dislikes that branched off into other topics like music, created some great memories, and helped us understand each other more. While nothing can replace being in the same space together, having the ability to send Arina flowers and gifts certainly helped. It’s a reminder that she’s always lovingly thought of and often.”
Arina: “Of course, every time I receive attention from my soulmate in the form of a gift, I feel not only pleasant impressions, but also pleasant memories, thanks to which our relationship became stronger. Such attention certainly brought us closer and closer, expressing care and love. I have all the greeting cards from each bouquet or gift I received and look at them from time to time.”
The Impact of Gifts on Their Relationship
Question: “How did receiving these gifts make you feel? What was their reaction?”
- Paul: “I felt closer to her because each bouquet of flowers or gifts was chosen thoughtfully with an open heart as well as the words on the greeting card. Gift giving is very personal for me as I try to give a piece of myself with each one. We were more involved in our daily lives because we started sending flowers and gifts to family and friends as a couple and could spend a few hours talking about what to give and shop for it.”
Arina: “Without a doubt, every gift enhances my positive emotions and the strengthening of the connection is felt instantly, I knew that this meant that I was loved and appreciated. Despite the physical separation, I receive all the necessary attention and support from Paul, for which I love him very much and for which I am incredibly grateful to him.”
Why Did They Chose Russian Flora to Send Flowers Internationally?
Question: “Why did you choose Russian Flora, and how was your experience?”
- Paul: “In one of our conversations Arina had said that she had never received flowers before. I was totally shocked and that’s when I started to look for a florist that I could use that would deliver to her. I found some international florist but none would deliver to Russia. I had lost hope and that’s when I found Russian Flora. The confidence I have in Russian Flora is partially due to the ease of using the website and the wide range of flowers and gifts. One time there was something Arina wanted but was only available during the holiday season. Everything changed after that because I was enlightened to special orders and met the customer service team. They represent the heart of the company and will do everything they possibly can to help you achieve it. Even if it’s a motor for a boat! Yes, I said motor. They were able to get the motor which was an anniversary gift for her parents who enjoy fishing very much. I have had the pleasure of working with most if not all of the customer service team. Even during the holiday season when special orders are generally not done they have made exceptions for me. Recently helping procure framed wall art for the apartment.”
