This past year, I met the love of my life. It came almost unexpectedly. I was writing through Scanna for a long time, but I hadn´t heard from a lady that seemed to spark my interest. The writing seemed to be going nowhere.
Then one day I decided to phone one of the women that spoke English fairly well. So, I set up a time to phone Elena. We talked for about a half hour, a half hour that helped me see the woman behind letters. She was sincere about finding her true love and we both decided that we wanted not words but action. We decided to meet in Spain in September. Of course at first I was a bit nervous, but in the end I met a beautiful, smiling woman who was also very smart and with a good head on her shoulders.
What really staggers me the most is that we were able to develop a level of sharing. Right now, ´m getting ready to meet Elena in my hometown of Detroit.
Perhaps our meeting could have happened through another site, but it didn´t, it happened through Scanna, and I´m very happy about this.
Many thanks, Mike
Hello,
I just got back from a business trip to Russia. When I was in Moscow, I was able to set up some dates with a few of the ladies that I was corresponding with for a couple of months in the nearby area through Scanna. I must say that I met some really great women and that, while we are different culturally, we are not really that different as people. So, I´ve decided that I want to marry a Russian lady because they seem to have some sort of fascination for me. My hopes are that within a year I´ll meet that special woman and we´ll be married soon after that.
Sincerely, George
Hello,
My wife Tatiana and I would like to thank Scanna.com which has helped us find each other and the happiness that we were looking for together. Once again I have found love and harmony in my life, with Tatiana, and she has such a wonderful heart and she is a very caring. We are very close and my friends say she is the perfect woman for me.
By the way, Tatiana asks me to send you her greetings and best regards.
Hi, my name is Bruce.
I´d like to leave a short message. I should say that Scanna has done a lot for me and the women I write to. I have written to some very nice women and I´m planning on visiting Russia this summer to meet them. Thanks to Scanna, I am confident that I´ll find that special lady at last when I visit Russia.
I wish Scanna all the best and success.
Hello Scanna,
In a week, the happiest day of my life will take place, my wedding day. Vera and I will finally get married. I´d been waiting for a long time for this to happen and finally I met my soul mate through Scanna. We both didn´t doubt for a minute that this was what we had waited for when we met face to face in Moscow. It might seem unexpected, but it did happen to Vera and me. Actually, Vera was corresponding through Scanna for some time before she wrote to me, and her letter seemed sincere and touched my heart. Then after filling out and submitting all the necessary visa documents and the months of waiting and the uncertainty, my Vera came to the U.S.A., and we are getting married soon.
I just want to say that this is a great site and that you have changed my life for the better.
All the best, Greg
Hi Scanna,
We want to let everyone know how happy we are. Irina and I met several months ago, and now we are living together in San Diego. Friends tell us we are a fabulous couple, and Irina is looking forward to studying and working here in the United States. And we´ve even talked about having children already! Our lives have definitely changed for the better since we met. And all of this was possible because of Scanna and we just wanted to thank you for helping us meet.
Take care, John and Irina in San Diego
Briefly about myself: my name is Steve and I´m from Texas. I own a ranch, so I´m tied to the land. A ranch demands a lot of work and you can´t go about it in a lazy way. I was alone for some time and was looking for a wife to share my life and have my meals with. I don´t usually go out, so it was hard for me to find the right woman. So I turned to dating sites. It is a convenient way of meeting women I think.
Well, to cut a long story short, I married my Nadejda and she is everything I was dreaming of. She grew up outside of the city, so she just fit in to the surroundings naturally. I was amazed, but believe me, after all the time of getting accustomed to the new home she turned out to be the real master of the house. I could not ask for more. In the end it´s the relationship that matters, but I can´t pass without saying many thanks to Scanna that has made my days so meaningful.
Regards, Steve
Dear Scanna,
I'd like to tell you how grateful I am for the Scanna site. I was desperately seeking a woman I could fall deeply in love with, and it was not important to me where she was from. In the end, I found her at Scanna, and never in my life did I think that I would ever fall in love with a lady from Russia by corresponding through a dating site. I truly believe that fortune has shone its light on me, and I am so happy with my bride, Inna, and enthusiastic about our future.
Many thanks to Scanna and my best wishes
Dear friends,
I am so happy with my new life that I can´t stop from sharing my new-found happiness.
Going back a few months, I see that the decision to find a Russian wife was an important stage in my life. I was always a confirmed bachelor because there seemed to be no-one to meet my needs. I wanted a quiet and cozy home and a nice wife to share my life with. I corresponded on some sites without any results – it isn´t easy to get to know someone if you live half way around the world. But Natalia was set on finding her dream, a rare quality I should say. She helped me a lot during that uncertain "transition" period and I am grateful to her and to the Scanna people who did a lot of work for us.
Thank you and I hope your company does well and helps other people like me.
Greetings all,
I was inspired to write this letter as a result of the recent developments in my life.
I was writing through Scanna as well as other dating sites in my search for my significant other in Russia. I had met some very nice people from Russia in my neighborhood and thought about trying out online dating with Russian women.
Well, I was never sure to the end about the results, but, amazingly, it happened, I met a lady that has made me feel that she is the dream of my life, someone I was always hoping to find. Svetlana and I talked on the phone and the magic of her voice made me sure she was the one!
This may not sound possible, but we are in the middle of the visa process now, and, believe me, I am so happy and excited that I am positive we are a great couple. I have nothing but praise for this chance and for Scanna.
Greetings Scanna staff!
I want to express my gratitude to those involved at Scanna for the great job they have done to help me find my better half. I was searching for a Russian bride and started dating Russian because I had heard good things about Russian women and their family values and I know some Russians living in my area. They are all nice and open people. That's why I tried several dating sites. Marina was one of the few girls who caught my attention. But, frankly speaking, I didn't take it all seriously at first. As our correspondence went on and on for several months I wanted to know her better, I mean see her face to face, talk to her and spend some time together. It seemed to me that we had created some foundation for our relationship. So, I came to Russia to visit these places I had heard so much about and to meet some people. St. Petersburg and Moscow impressed me greatly. The romantic meeting with Marina finally took place and I understood that she was definitely the greatest girl for me among those I met during my trip to Russia and surely surpassed all the American women I had ever dated. I liked her character and how we got along together. When I came back to America I proposed to her and she agreed. I was in seventh heaven! Thank you Scanna for your help and for our happiness that I hope will be everlasting.
Hi Scanna staff!
I would like to thank you for helping me find my beautiful bride. I heard about Russian penpals long ago from a couple of my buddies who were writing to several Russian women through internet. The idea seemed odd to me - I thought it just couldn´t be serious. Meeting someone special on the Internet didn´t seem like a good possibility. But I found some sites myself and tried them, just for fun, never expecting anything would come out of it. My first letters met with warm responses from some very attractive ladies.
I found Olga on the site several months later and I liked the way she expressed her thoughts, her opinions and outlook on life. She was an intelligent girl and rather pretty. I don't know why I decided to travel to Russia. I like traveling and I just thought "why not Russia this time"? I arranged to meet with Olga and it was a great pleasure to spend time with her! At the end of my stay we talked about the future of our relationship and possibility of marriage. I still didn´t believe it was happening to me! But when I came back home I realized it was real and, moreover, serious! I made up my mind to marry her! We are now waiting for a fiancée visa and are both very happy and full of expectations for future together here in the States.
Hello, Scanna!
Warm greetings from me and my wife Galina. We are so happy that I wanted to share our happiness with you and let you know our story.
I lost my wife ten years ago. I was so overwhelmed with my loss and so busy raising my little son that I didn´t even think about marrying again. No one could replace my wife for me. One day I came across Russian women dating site. I was impressed by the women´s profiles and by warm testimonials written by happy couples. I took the decision to join the site and see what online dating is. I wrote to a few Russian women who were my age, mature and serious. Galina seemed to be a very nice woman from the start. Something in her attracted me. Gradually our letters became more frequent and personal. Some feelings appeared and I realized it only when it was too late turn back - we had already decided to meet in Russia. I would say she was nearly a perfect match for me. She is so calm and sweet and she understands me perfectly! I invited her to America. She came and stayed with me for some time and that was enough to decide that we should get married and that it was the right thing to do. She returned to Russia and it took some time for her to gather all documents. During all this time we wrote to each other and talked on the phone. Now everything is settled, we are married and lead normal lifes. A big thanks to Scanna and its staff who were so patient and attentive to all my letters and troubles and with the help of which I managed to find my happiness.
Hello, to all of the saff. I just wanted to thank you for the great job you´ve done. I met a wonderful girl and it happened with your assistance. Many times I tried to find my happiness with American women – every time I failed. I heard about mail order brides from my friends who were into it for some time. The whole thing was very strange. I even wrote to some girls from former Soviet Union and what I liked in them most was their great personalities and family values. That made the thing for me. I knew for sure where I should look for my happiness. I met a beautiful girl Natasha on the Scanna site some time ago. I fell in love with her from the fourth letter – yes, it is true! We continued our correspondence and we talked regularly on the phone. Natasha invited me to come to Russia. That was unforgettable trip! I was fascinated by the people and by the culture. We visited so many places together. Natasha turned out to be very romantic girl, very tender and loving. I proposed to her without a doubt in my mind! Now I´m waiting for her in America. We agreed to marry as soon as she gets her visa and comes over.
Thank you all so much and best of luck to the others using this site. I hope all the people find their happiness!
Polina, My Rosy-Cheeked Beauty
Dear Scanna team,
I thought I should tell you my love story with a wonderful Russian woman. I'd been looking for a mail order bride from Eastern Europe for a couple of years with no luck. Then I decided to narrow my search down and concentrate on Russian women only. You probably want to know why? As I live in Alaska, the region with a severe cold climate, Russian women from Siberia or Central Russia would have no trouble to quickly getting used to the local weather conditions. So I thought a Russian woman wouldn't suffer much from the cold and would become a suitable wife for me in the great asperity of Alaskan climate!
So I started corresponding with a couple dozen of pretty Russian girls I found on Scanna. Over time I chose three the most beautiful and fine Russian ladies and not so long ago I flew to Russia to meet them.
I have never had more fun in my life! One of the women completely stole my heart. Her name is Polina. I asked her to marry me and she graciously consented. Without question, she is the sweetest and the most beautiful Russian woman from all the mail order brides that I have ever known!
I bought her a 1 carat engagement ring of very high quality that would have cost about twice as much in the U.S.
I'm focused now on getting Polina to America; I suspect my beloved Russian woman will come here in summer.
My opinion Scanna did a very good thing in helping me find a suitable wife among mail order brides, even for Alaskan climate!
With deepest thanks,
Steve and Polina, Juneau, Alaska.
Dear Scanna,
Over the past two years I have had many disappointments in the dating field including 'mail order bride' section. In fact I was ready to give up the whole idea of finding my one and only...
I still remember the day when my friend told me that he had suddenly become extremely popular with Russian women. To be frank, I thought he was joking because he wasn't handsome at all. Moreover, he had some failures in dating women. Even though I didn't believe a word he was saying, I wrote down the address of the site featuring the Russian beauties. Guess what? All that I saw at Scanna really exceeded my expectations. There were 100's of sweet Russian mail order brides (gorgeous blonds, brunettes) seeking American men to marry. It was amazing! I could not believe there were so many beautiful ladies looking for husbands!
I took advantage of the service and got acquainted with some sweet ladies from the catalogue. You won't believe me, but a month later I was drinking whisky on a plane from New York to Moscow. At the airport there was Katya waiting for me... Dear Katya, please, don't be offended that I'm describing it so briefly.
To make a long story short, I ended up engaging a Russian bride, a wonderful lady, and starting the registration of American visa for my dear Katya who will become my wife in a few months.

Hello Scanna,
My wife Natasha and I want to thank you for helping us find each other!
We're very happy together. Feel free to use our testimonial to all of you Scanna users who are looking to meet nice, beautiful Russian or Ukrainian brides.
Tom: I put my picture in the Scanna catalog and soon after that I was contacted by Sveta, a sweet blond Ukrainian girl from Odessa. Her message was short as this: "Hi Tom, if you did not live 6000 miles away, I would ask you out..." I had been writing to a number of mail order brides before but in Sveta's case things seemed a great deal better. We got to know each other through email and occasional phone calls for about two months.
I flew to Ukraine and met this wonderful girl. We spent two fabulous weeks together by the Black sea. My dear Ukrainian bride accepted my proposal for marriage, even though I made it as early as on the 3rd day.
Sveta: Let me say in closing that love and family is the essence of life to Russian and Ukraine women which makes them very attractive to American men.
I am absolutely happy. –
Thanks again, Tom and Sveta LeGrand, CA, USA
My name is Alex Harris; I am 36 years old and I am from Ontario, Canada. I have been married once before, but it ended several years ago. Since my divorce I had dated American and Canadian women and tried to establish relations with a number of Russian girls, or 'mail order brides' over the Internet. I corresponded with many ladies from different sites, but at Scanna I at last found my future wife. Angela used to live in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. We had corresponded, just as friends, not as future spouses. Then I made up my mind to go to Kiev to see her in person and after that things moved faster between us and we got engaged.
I knew that in Ukraine my lovely girl didn't have any luxuries so I wanted her to have it all: the wedding ceremony, the beautiful dress, the reception, limo's; I wanted everyone to see how much we loved each other. We were married in a romantic open air wedding under a beautiful baldachin. Angela's friends and family, a lot of Ukrainian men and women were there.
We are very happy and it's all thanks to Scanna!
Best wishes,
Angela and Alex Harris, Canada
Hello there at Scanna!
The reason why I started corresponding with women overseas, with Russian women in particular is my unwillingness to compromise my dream relationship. Over the years I tried many dating services searching for my love but I found only American women that I wouldn´t call compatible partners.
By accident I came across the Scanna web site and I began emailing to a wonderful Russian lady in northern Russia. Her name is Marusya; she is 42 yo and has a teenager son. I felt from Marusya's first letter that I was communicating with my future Russian wife.
It was hard for me to imagine that my 'mail order bride' and I would ever meet in person, as it is very difficult for Russian women to get visas for the U.S. and I never dreamed of traveling to Russia. But for some reason my trip worked out and I left for Moscow on winter 2005. I was in heaven during my stay there! I've heard that some of you guys complain about the quality of Russian women. I tell you what - then you could never be happy with any woman!
I proposed to my sweet Marusya on my birthday, after we had been together for a week. I was very happy when she said "yes." What a wonderful birthday present for me!
My advice to all the men who are considering using Scanna to find a Russian wife: approach this effort with dedication to purpose and you really will meet beautiful, intelligent, and sincere Russian women. Thank you Scanna for the good work you do!
Sincerely,
John and Marusya, FL, USA
Hi Scanna,
I have recently returned from a trip to Moscow, Russia. I am now engaged to be married to Vera, a very attractive Russian woman.
I went through the email-writing process with a number of Russian ladies but actually decided quite early on, that Vera was the girl I really want to meet. We talked weekly on the phone and our romance blossomed. Being a real Russian woman with a strong personality, she helped me overcome my initial shyness.
I made the journey to Moscow and found that Vera really exceed all my expectations! She is the only one that I could see spending the rest of my life with. She told me she got letters from other American men, but did not care about their money. Vera cares about me for who I am. This amazing Russian woman has even moved me to write poems, though I have never written a poem in my life!
Best wishes to all the ladies at Scanna, thanks for everything!
Matthew Straw, KA, USA
If your intent is to seriously commit yourself to coming together with a Russian woman having marriage in mind, I recommend joining the Scanna site. I have just returned from the trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg and I am at a complete loss to understand how many beautiful Russian women I saw! After experiencing the great number of amazing Russian ladies, I doubt that I will ever look at an American woman again. The Russian brides are some of the most intelligent, giving and passionate that I have come across in my life. I am trying to describe them to my friends back home in America, but I think no one believes me anyway.
While in Russia I spent most of my time with two Russian ladies whom I met through the Scanna site and with whom I had a long email correspondence before I went to Russia. The hardest thing for me was having to disappoint one of the sweetest Russian women as another one completely stole my heart! Her name is Anna Chernova, she is my fiancée now, and we will soon be married.
I can't thank Scanna enough for the opportunity to meet her.
My regards to all future travelers to Russia,
Best wishes, Andrew Lee
Hello everyone at Scanna!
I am so happy to meet my love, my true friend and future wife Natasha, thanks to this site and I'd like to tell you our love story.
It was not long ago when I first came to Scanna. I soon got acquainted with Natasha, who couldn't speak English well, and I started learning Russian in order to understand her better. At the same time she started learning English. My Russian lady's first letter was very interesting. She wrote about her life in Ukraine, her interests and hobbies. She once wrote she was fond of knitting and sewing. I liked it a lot and on her next birthday she got a sewing machine as a present from me.
She was so happy!
My first meeting with Natasha took place after 3 months after our correspondence had begun. We had a great week at the Black Sea. During that time I got acquainted with Natasha's parents, who appeared to be kind, decent and intelligent people who gave me a hearty welcome. I soon made a proposal to her and she accepted it with joy.
I am very thankful to Scanna for giving me the chance to meet such a wonderful, kind, beautiful and smart lady as Natasha! We are happy together and I hope we will be happy for the rest of our lives!
With much love and happiness,
David and Natasha, MD, USA
Dear friends,
This is our story. I was tired of meeting the wrong people through friends and at parties. Then I thought I would try writing to a few Russian women through the Scanna site. I wrote to a couple of dozens of Russian brides but I only met two of them in person – Sveta and Tanya.
Sveta was a very beautiful, intelligent and interesting Russian woman as she seemed, but apparently I wasn't the type of man she was looking for. After spending a couple of evenings together with that Russian woman we came to the conclusion that we didn't suit each other. What could I do? I took another chance – I spent the day with Tanya, another wonderful Russian lady, and it was as if we'd known each other all our lives!
Unfortunately I had to leave the next day, but we stayed in touch via email and phones calls. Mail order brides don't interest me anymore as I had found my beloved Russian woman, my one and only I was looking for.
My Russian bride Tanya is a lot different from other girls I met in the U.S. She is very honest and kind with me and she knows what she wants out of life.
Thank you, Scanna!
A friend of mine brought to my attention the idea of meeting Russian ladies. I initially emailed through Scanna to some Russian women and received a dozen of good responses. Our correspondence went on for about 3 months, and then I realized that the time came to visit some of the Russian ladies.
I cannot say that my trip surpassed my expectations, on the contrary... I was a bit disappointed and decided to go back to America. Two days before the departure I got an instant message from the lady I had been corresponding with through Scanna. To tell the truth, I could hardly remember her. Neither her photos, nor her letters had captured my heart. I considered them a bit boring and, well, too ordinary. However, we set a date and that day changed all my life. As soon as I saw her I realized that she would become my wife. Next day at the airport I proposed to her...
I must admit that you guys at Scanna have changed my life for the better. Thank you again and may your business blossom to provide such satisfying results for your customers.
Dmitry and Olga, Toronto, Canada
Hi,
My name is Bob Sullivan, I am 45 yo electrician from Montana, USA.
For many years I have been a client of internet dating agencies and Russian dating agencies in particular. I think that Russian women are the most beautiful in Europe and may be the most beautiful in the world. I know that the beauty of Russian wives is not in appearance alone; they have an 'inner' beauty that is hard to describe.
So I registered at Scanna wishing to find a Russian bride for me. Then came a happy exchange of emails that culminated in a two-week trip to Moscow and other Russian cities. In one of these cities, Suzdal, I met my wife, the most adorable Russian woman on earth Marina!
I am now leaving Scanna and wishing all its users to become as happy as I am with my Marina!
Yours,
Bob, MO, USA
Dear Scanna,
As a former member of this site I would like to say a few words of advice and encouragement to American men involved with Russian women (or searching for one). Most Russian women unlike American ones take marriage very seriously. Most Russian women are not grasping and materialistic, but they do want to be able to respect their husband as a breadwinner. They want reliability as much as riches. It is very difficult for a Russian woman to uproot herself from her country, so try to support her and to always be there for her.
And last: do not hesitate whether to marry her or not for too long, else another one will find her!
Morris Coles, Seattle, USA
Hi Scanna,
My future wife Irina was born in Tver, Russia.
She once told me that she dreamt of marrying a foreign man since childhood and moving with him to the west. So she placed her profile at Scanna but deep inside she didn't like the idea of becoming a mail order bride.
It is known that Russian mail order brides are enjoying wide popularity on the internet as almost all of them are beautiful. After a couple of months I came to meet Irina in Moscow. From all the American guys who wrote to her, she chose me! I don't know why. I rented an apartment and after two days, I proposed to her! As a well-brought-up Russian woman she didn't want to say 'yes' or 'no' at once so she kept me waiting for a week. Finally, when we were walking through downtown Moscow she accepted my proposal. We both remember that minute, I couldn't believe my ears. I kept telling her how happy I was and how much I loved her.
I want to thank Scanna for their noble work and I wish all the American men looking for love in Russia to never give up their hope.
Sincerely yours,
Mark and Irina, DC, USA
Good day to Scanna team!
Three months ago I met a wonderful Russian girl at Scanna, we fell in love and are getting married.
Katya: It was me who sent a letter to a nice Swedish guy called Magnus. That's how much I liked him from the first sight! Some three weeks later he offered to meet me in St. Petersburg. So we did. I was impressed by his attitude: the truth is that with him I had never felt like a typical 'mail order bride'! Unlike ill-mannered Russian guys, he treated his potential bride like a treasure – flowers, inexpensive but nice presents and plenty of love in his eyes. Russian women are so unpretentious, you know… When I turned thirty Russian men lost their interest in me as in a potential bride. I had a very low self-esteem and felt irrelevant in my homeland...
That was the beginning of our love story. I visited Sweden a couple of times, and we are soon getting married.
Sincerely yours,
Magnus and Katerina, Stockholm, Sweden
