FREE Wedding Gowns for Military Brides!; A feel good story

I just saw the most wonderful piece on the local news. In eleven cities throughout the country military brides are being given free wedding dresses! Either the groom or the bride must be going to Iraq or Afghanistan or be recently returned. One beautiful young girl came into the store in her military uniform and then they showed her with a HUGE grin on her face as she tried on a confection of white satin and lace- it was really heartwarming. She left in uniform again, but was clutching a dress bag with her new wedding gown. One girl came from Wisconsin (I think, or Michigan) to get a wedding dress.

On the one hand, we see the spectacles of Michael Jackson and Steve McNair, on the other hand we see the kindness of a bridal shop owner to military brides. I pick the latter to focus on.

Thanks Texas Mom! I checked it out and found the web site!

Brides Across America was born on a realization that our country needs to do more to support our troops and their families.

After reading an article on NPR about how the troops in Afhganistan feel forgotten, it was time to do our part and give our support.

Bringing bridal and military together is a marriage made in heaven! Bridal salons are uniting across America to donate and giving away wedding gowns to qualified military brides. The wedding industry is making a difference and giving brides to be the opportunity to find the wedding gown of their dreams as well as aleviate some of the financial stess of purchasing a wedding gown.

Each store will be preparing a select number of gown to give away. Most othe gowns are samples and overstocks and are worth approximately $500 to $3000. Dresses range in sizes from 4-22 and will be given away on a first-come, first serve basis as long as you qualify.

Brides Across America is dedicated to make military brides dreams come true while, anxiously waiting the arrival of thier loved one from overseas.

You too can make a difference by sending in a donation to support Homes For Our Troops.
