Dear Orange County Bride Magazine,
This past weekend was the Mass Military Wedding hosted by K-Earth 101 at
the Huntington Beach Hyatt Resort and Spa. Thanks so all of the
wonderful vendors that participated and donated their services, 25
couples were able to say their "I do's". I would like to share my
blogpost with you, in hopes that you would consider this to post.
This was a wonderful thing that took place in the O.C. And I know a
lot of people would like to hear about this day and see the images.

Dear Lucy,
Orange County Bride magazine is very supportive of our military ( personally I have 2 Naval aviators in the family) and love the beautiful tradition of military weddings, I always need a handkerchief. Thank you for sharing all your poignant and fabulous images. Your choice of music on your video is outstanding!!! You are right a lot of people will want to see your photos. You and the sponsors definitely are angels in our book!!!
We look forward to running a photo spread on the 25 Military newlyweds photos in our July / Fall Issue. 


A quote from Photographer Lucy:
"When I was first approached by Wenda from More Than Just Weddings to volunteer my services for the Mass Military Wedding, I was elated. Without hesitation I said, “YES!” As a veteran of the United States Air Force, I felt compelled to help out my brothers and sisters in arms. I understand the needs and demands of being an active duty service member. I understood the importance and the meaning of what this event would hold. I couldn’t wait for the day to come."

Special Thanks to our sponsors!!!!!

Reward yourself through a Macy’s WEDDING Registry. DREAM FUND


When you register with Macy’s and enroll in the Dream FUND program, you will enjoy the following benefits:

Dream Fund from Macy's

The gift card that works like magic

The ultimate wedding present, Macy's Dream Fund lets your friends & family come together to give you one big fabulous gift, up to $9,999 in total value.

To contribute, all your loved ones have to do is stop by their favorite Macy's store and make a deposit. The funds are available immediately for you to use. To check your balance, come into any Macy's store coast-to-coast or call 800-511-2752. Want to see who has added to your Dream Fund? Check your Thank You manager on macys.com/registry



"Friends and family members often go in together to purchase a big ticket item such as a luxury bedding ensemble or complete suite of crystal stemware or even a sofa for their favorite couple's wedding gift", stated Susan Bertelsen, Group Vice President of Macy's Wedding & Gift Registry. "Our new Dream Fund makes it so easy. The couple registers for the Dream Fund noting the gift they're hoping to receive and their gift-givers can contribute any amount toward that purchase. The couple receives an electronic gift card and, as their wedding guests contribute, the value of the card keeps increasing. The gift-giver receives a card they can send to the couple to let them know they have added to their fund -- or the couple can simply check to see the contributors and card value. This is a great way to get the couple their "dream" gift."

 Consider this our “Congratulations” to you on your marriage and our best wishes in joining the Macy’s family, as you create your own.
