Military Brides Save on Wedding Dresses

I only just learned about this myself or I would have written about it sooner... Brides Across America http://www.bridesacrossamerica.com/ has arranged an opportunity for Military Brides to recieve free wedding dresses in honor of Veteran's Day. In most cases the event is held tomorrow, November 11th, but in few cases it is already past and at least one is not until the 16th according to their website.

Of course the wedding gown give-away has requirements and limitations. Be prepared to show your military ID including deployment papers. I have heard that they require that either the bride herself be in the military OR that the groom be deployed to Iraq or Afganistan, but I have not been able to verify that. Of course, you can be certain that they will want some assurance that the bride actually be a bride - in other words, that she is engaged.

As this is a give away, remember that stock might be limited so if you are interested do not delay as you can be certain everything is first come, first served. Still, this sounds like a great way to reinforce to our military personel how much they are valued by helping at least a few miltary brides to stretch their budget with a free wedding dress.

Tomorrow I will continue with the current series on ways to prepare for your wedding and protect your budget at the same time.
