Try giving a woman a bouquet of red roses and at the very least, you’ll see her crack a grin, even if she’s not the type to gush over the beauty of flowers. Each woman has her own unique personality and there is no universal reason as to why flowers evoke such positive reactions from them. It can be said that it is not so much the flowers themselves but the meaning and thought behind it that makes women giggle like high school teenagers.
Imagine this scene in your mind: you’re in your office doing regular boring chores when out of the nowhere, a friend that you haven’t seen or heard from in a while has a bouquet of one dozen roses delivered to you. In almost all certainty, this is going to make a positive difference in your day. Everything that seemed so important five minutes ago no longer seems so, at least for a few ecstatic moments. Why? Because someone you respect took the time and the effort to let you know that he or she is thinking of you, even if you no longer spend as much time together as you used to. In one flower delivery, so much was said about your friendship and enduring love for each other even of no words where exchanged. This is a magical feeling that very few gifts can evoke.
It’s the meaning of flowers that draws positive responses from people. Every single color and type of flower comes with its own traditional meaning and sentiment - symbolisms that have been developed through time. In fact, roses in particular have their own language. Traditionally speaking, a rosebud means young love or youth, whereas a mature rose symbolizes lasting love or gratitude. White roses can mean that you view the recipient as innocent-and childlike, where a pink rose shows that you are happy and content. We all know that red roses signify true love, but a red rose bud symbolizes a deeper, purer, more passionate love. Many people combine red roses with white roses to give the message of unbreakable unity. These meanings are not often talked about or memorized but for some reason, people understand them perfectly.
To a lot of women, it does not really matter what each color means or what bloom stage a flower stands for. Most of the time people don’t know about the traditional meaning of flowers. Despite this, a lot of women have felt giddy with happiness whenever they receive flowers from their boyfriends, especially if comes delivered as a surprise. It doesn’t matter if one receives a red rose bud or a pink rose in full bloom. The fact that someone took the trouble to send roses as a reminder of his love and affection is enough to keep ladies smiling like a love-struck teenager for the rest of the day.

To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down."
- Woody Allen

Groundhog Day
Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated on February 2. It is held in the United States and Canada. According to folklore, if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day fails to see its shadow, it will leave the burrow, signifying that winter will soon end. If on the other hand, the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue for six more weeks.

Men and Women
Have you ever heard a seemingly normal woman saying something like, "I don't know what I do to turn men off. I seem to push them away. Maybe I'm too demanding, or not demanding enough. Men are so confusing."
And it could be that very same day that you hear a seemingly normal man, unrelated to the first woman, complaining: ‘I don't get women. I must be doing something wrong. Women are so hard to understand."
When men and women get together, there are, in effect, two worlds—his and hers. They have different values, priorities, and habits. They play by different rules.
Scientists have come to accept that a few fundamental differences between men and women are biological. It turns out that men's and women's brains, for example, are not only different, but the way we use them differs too. Women have larger connections and more frequent interaction between their brain's left and right hemispheres. This accounts for women's ability to have better verbal skills and intuition. Men, on the other hand, have greater brain hemisphere separation, which explains their skills for abstract reasoning and visual-spatial intelligence. Poet Robert Bly describes women's brains as a "superhighway" of connection while men’s brains connections are compared to a "little crookedy country road.'"
We are so different but nevertheless we need each other.

In Soviet times it was one of the greatest holidays of the year - with colorful demonstrations and celebration of the workers and collective farmers. Today, practically nobody bothers with parades and demonstrations surely except for some energetic old people, who try to revive those "good old days". People just stay at home and rest, go out for BBQ and picnics. Now this holiday is more a Spring Day than Labor Day as usually the weather at the beginning of May is very nice and warm.

New testimonial from Terry Angell
I recently visited Kharkov in January and found it to be very beautiful...even with all the ice and snow! The architecture of the cathedrals, the monuments, the parks, Freedom Square, and the activity in the city was something a Southern Guy from South Louisiana doesn't see very often, if ever. And the women....WOW!! Even though I was there for a short while, the experience will stay with me for a lifetime. It was truly a differen't world. I was impressed with the attention and effort given to my by the staff members and my driver was especially helpful. I met with ladies I had been corresponding with and will be using the services of Charming Brides when I return in the Spring, hopefully to pledge myself in a truly meaningful relationship.

St. Valentine's Day comes soon!
There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. One of them is that Valentine's Day festival originated from the mid-February fertility festival celebrated in pagan times. Legend of martyrdom of Saint Valentine of Rome is also strongly associated with Valentine's Day tradition of expressing love to dear ones. Some scholars say the romance was linked with Valentine's Day because of the popular belief in England and France during the Middle Ages that birds began to start looking for their mate from 14th February.
Nowadays this day is for showing your love and affection to your soulmate. It is a marvelous holiday for all loving hearts.

Orthodox Christmas
On the 7th of January Ukraine is celebrating Orthodox Christmas.
It is traditional for families to gather together on Christmas Eve and share a special meal. Generally, family members will fast for the day until the first star appears. The meal that follows the fast contains no meat, with the main dish being Kutya. This symbolic food is made of various grains signifying hope, with honey and poppy seed symbolizing happiness and peace. This meal is referred to as “The Holy Supper” and is served on a table that is draped in a white cloth, symbolic of Christ’s swaddling clothes at his birth. Some hay is brought into the room as a reminder of the humble dwelling that Jesus was born in and a tall white candle adorns the centre of the table as a reminder that Christ is the light of the World. A round loaf of bread is placed next to the candle as a symbol of Christ being the bread of life.
Christmas is a wonderful occasion for families to gather together and enjoy each other’s company.
Dear Sirs,
please note that Charming Brides office will be closed on the 7th of January.
Merry Christmas!

Holidays in Kharkov
Each Ukrainian city has its City Day, the day when the city was founded. Kharkov Day is usually celebrated on the 23 of August. Originally it was the day when the city was released from Nazi occupation during the World War 2, but nowadays people celebrate it a City Day. During this day various performances of popular actors and musicians are held. Many people from suburbs and even other towns come to Kharkov to see performances, walk along nicely decorated streets and have a great time. The celebration is usually accomplished with fireworks at about 12 p.m. The main celebrations are held on the biggest square in Kharkov - Independence Square.
The next day everybody is celebrating Independence Day in Ukraine.
In 1991 Ukraine became independent from the USSR and was proclaimed a Sovereign State. The Independence Day is usually celebrated with festivals and military parades. If you have a possibility, visit the performance of military orchestras that is quite interesting. Also at the end of the day great fireworks illuminate the city sky!

Women in Business
Administrator of Charming Brides Olga Bulyga took part in TV program dedicated to successful women in Ukrainian business.
The 24 of April took place the recording of the TV show “Business in gender aspect” which was prepared by KCB (Kharkov club of businessmen), that went on the air at 15.30 on Saturday, (repeat on Sunday at 13.30) on “Fora” channel in studio “Maydan”, Kharkov.
Participants:
- Alexander Vasiliev - the owner of the group of companies “Binex”, the president of KCB.
- Alexander Kirsh – renowned economist of Ukraine, the main editor of magazine “Accountant”.
- Marina Kekhter – the singer, poet, psychologist, business coach, applicant for University of higher education APN of Ukraine.
- Olga Bulyga – the owner of international marriage agency.
- Marina Sevastianova – founder of spa-complex, ideologist of brand “MarineClub”.
- Ekaterina Zherdeva – director of trade chain of furniture shops “Chance”.
- Natalia Eremenko – journalist, PR-manager “Magazine 24”.
- Maka Karazhanova – director of “Karazhanov and Co”.
- Victor Kozoriz – director of press-center “Maydan”
We are grateful to all the participants for openness and enthusiasm in discussion of quite uneasy and delicate topic.
In psychology the comparison of male and female style in behavior is described in terms of gender differences. The word “gender” means psychological sex of person – specific characteristic of behavior, values, ideals which man or woman correlating to.
The problem of women’s presence in business is discussing in the West now few ten years. In Ukraine it has its own features and it’s connected with that fact that in the West business was considered to be traditionally male’s diocese. In Soviet Union we got accustomed to see women on the leading posts, we saw them on the screens of our TV-sets reading reports on the conventions and conferences. Historically our women were getting perfect excellent education of not only humanitarian but also of technical profile. In the West women came in business where men occupied repressing amount of positions. In Ukraine women and men started to make business simultaneously. With the beginning of realignment we had both competent leaders – men and women. That’s why men and women had in many cases equal start positions. Nobody shocked from the fact that women are doing management.
But does it mean that Ukraine has gender equality and this is reality? If our business ladies felt so called syndrome of double employment, trying combine traditionally women role of “hearth
keeper” and business person? What is their attitude to workers with small children? Do the male and female strategies in business exist and if they justified? Our participants were giving answers to these and other questions in the show. Sometimes their answers were paradoxical, for example Marina Sevastianova thinks that it is easier to be in business for woman than for man. Would you like to know why? Watch the TV-show. If you are not in luck Alexander Vasiliev has the copy on CD.
Special thanks to Men who were taking part in the show (‘Man’ here with the capital letter), it was not easy for them because they were in minority, they manly were suffering inconvenience of ‘androcentrist’ position or just men who were shattering myth about men’s supremacy. We haven’t fought in the end of the show, this myth just dispelled and the harmony has won. Now welcome to the world of women’s problems!
This TV-show was marked also by the opening of Women’s KCB league!! We hope that amount of women in KCB will rise and field of the Club will justify by gender principle, adding harmony to all cosmic space of our Universe!

Office closed on 1st of May
On the 1st and 2nd of May Ukraine is celebrating Labour Day – a holiday to commemorate the historic struggle of working people throughout the world.
In Soviet times it was one of the greatest holidays of the year - with colorful demonstrations and celebration of the workers and collective farmers. Today, practically nobody bothers with parades and demonstrations surely except for some energetic old people, who try to revive those "good old days". People just stay at home and rest, go out for BBQ and picnics. Now this holiday is more a Spring Day than Labor Day as usually the weather at the beginning of May is very nice and warm.
Please notice that on these days Charming Brides office will be closed on the 1st of May, all your calls and requests will be answered on the 2st of May.
