I don't know if you ladies or anyone else you know can make use of this, but it seems like a really great program.
http://www.bridesacrossamerica.com/ I don't know where all the locations are, but I do know if you live near Cincinnati, European Bridal does this and you can call them to have them hold your spot for you. The dresses are from some pretty amazing designers too that have been generous enough to donate overstock or discontinued gowns for those deployed or those with fiance(e)s deployed. Hope someone benefits from this!
