Alfred Angelo has been donating wedding gowns to the non-profit group, Operation Homefront since 2008. Operation Homefront’s Georgia chapter received 200 of the 300+ gowns recently donated and outfitted 20 brides for a very special group wedding this past Saturday, June 13.
Each bride got to choose her Alfred Angelo gown, according to her personal style. Some of the styles chosen were among our most popular: 1516, 1612, 2024, and 1142!
Highlights from the Day…
The ceremony took place at the beautiful and bucolic Columbus Botanical Garden.
The brides and grooms all stood together on the lawn and renewed their commitment to each other in front of 250 friends and family on a perfectly sunny Georgia day, presided over by the base Brigade Chaplin.
At the end of the ceremony, each couple proceeded through the traditional Saber Arch, where the bride is given a gentle tap with one of the sabers, and was once again told “Welcome to the Army”.
At the reception, commanding Brigadier General Donoghue and second in command General Jones, who oversee the Ft. Benning and Ft. Stewart bases in Georgia, congratulated the brides and grooms. I had the pleasure of meeting them myself as well!
At the end of the day, the couples headed to the 1870 Rothschild-Pound House Inn. They all spent the evening at the Inn’s historical cottages, run by Mamie Pound (who by the way, makes the world’s most amazing pancakes).
So, congratulations to all of the couples from this weekend's wedding! It was wonderful to attend.
And, if you are a soon-to-be military bride, I salute you!
And, be sure to look for our new Alfred Angelo Military discount, available in our Alfred Angelo stores.
