i am proud to say that i’m an army brat, having my dad serve our country proudly for 20 -some years. without the army, i literally wouldn’t be here as my parents met while he was stationed in south korea.
that said, while at the most recent bay area bee meet up, one of the lovely readers, bean, had mentioned that there was a bridal shop giving away free wedding dresses to military brides. how awesome is that?! originally the event was going to be a one day only thing but the promotion has been extended.
as a thank you for the many men and women serving in iraq and afghanistan, unique bridal in burlingame, california is offering brides who either served active duty themselves or who’s fiances are currently serving in iraq or afghanistan a free designer wedding dress!
all you need to have to take advantage of this awesome opportunity [provided you met the requirements of active duty service] is bring your id, a copy of deployment papers, orders or other qualifying proof. you don’t even have to live in the area!
this event has been extended until this friday, the 17th so make sure to check it out if you’re qualified to do so. contact the boutique to set up your appointment!
i think this is a fabulous idea and i’m grateful that the wedding community has opened their hearts to those who chose to serve and are risking their lives for our sakes. it’s not always easy being a miltary family but a little understanding and compassion goes a long way.
That is SOOOO great! I’m an army brat, too! And Loverboy is all signed up and ready to go as he gets some things out of the way first (long story). But yay for that! And yay for you posting!
