Over 40 brides found their dream wedding dress this weekend.  Many more came to see if they could find their dress.  Even if they didn’t find it, I hope they had fun and enjoyed the experience.  Maybe they even learned something about what they are looking for. 

On Sunday morning, a lovely woman named Joan came in.  She is why we do this each year.  She has Stage IV Breast Cancer, which has spread to her bones.  Making Memories is granting her final wish – to gather her family together and give her daughter a beautiful wedding at the beach.  Joan is kind, sweet, and a true inspiration.  You can meet her here.

 

It is a lot of work, but I can’t wait to start planning for next year!  Let’s beat the record Atlanta holds and bring in over $51,000 in 2011!
