Active Military Men & Ladies can win a FREE wedding
in Mecklenburg County with your help!
What is Operation Marry Me Military?
In 2011
Alecia Geddings of Oak Island Photography & Weddings, in Brunswick County
created a campaign. Her goal was to offer a contest to allow a lucky
military person to be married for free on Veteran's Day. Alecia issued a
challenge to other counties to do the same. Within weeks, several
counties came forth to participate. Operation MMM married five couples
throughout the state on 11-11-11
totaling over $200,000 in free goods and services. Alecia's personal
mission is by 2021 to have all 100 counties in NC participating by offering a
free wedding every Veteran's Day.
So here is how you
can help….
Carolina Weddings and Events is going to coordinate a
wedding for a lucky couple with the help of vendors in the Mecklenburg County
area. This is great exposure for your company and a great way to give back to
those who serve our country. Speak with us if you know the amount it would cost for your product and we will determine the needs for this wedding. We do not know who will be picked until August 15th. You must be available to give the bride/groom the product before November 11, 2012 or the day of depending on what you are donating.
