Sunday July 18

We had another great Military event with girls lining up at 5:00 PM the night before. They braved the severe thunderstorms in their cars. The event was magical with a huge white tent decorated in white satin tablecloths, with lights and beautiful red, white, and blue flowers. The beautiful tent and accessories was donated and decorated by "All Event Rental". A big thanks to Lori and Buddy for their big help. I also want to thank Jackie from Forever Floral. Not only did she donate a thousand dollars of wedding flowers to the military brides at the event. She also was so gracious as to donate beautiful flowers to decorate the tent, arch, and the store. Jackie’s quality of work and freshness of flowers surpasses all others. Thanks Jackie.

Another big thank you goes out to Michelle from Brookhall. This is Michelle’s third year for donating our lunch. Their roast beef sandwiches are to die for. Thank you Michelle.

Thanks to Paul, Tawnja, and Dave from the Twin Cities Video and DVD Inc. and to the Tawnja Zahradka Show for helping us get the word out to our military about this event.

Another big big thank you to all our other vendors who braved the hot steamy weather to be a part of this event and who proudly gave back to the military. Here are cheers to all of you!!!

Midwest Sound, Steve Rouch Photography, Traveling Photo booth, Salon Mystique, Timothy’s Fine Jewelry, Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio, Home Savings of America, Lee’s Limousine, Kake Kreations by Kathy, and Mick’s Printing who donated all our printed material. Also a big big thank you to our friends Mike Larson and Con Matros who donated their time. We could not have done this without all of your help.

Special thanks goes to Matthew Trettel and Bruce Vassar, "The Wedding Guys", for being a part of the event and sharing their expertise.

Thank you and God Bless America. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.
