12:52 AM - Military Veteran Awarded a Royal Wedding by CaterBid.com
With the Royal Wedding quickly approaching, every bride dreams of being a princess on their wedding day. CaterBid.com is making one lucky couple's wedding dreams come true.
"We are beyond words," said Sgt. Sherman Weeks, who served 8 years in the US Marine Corps. "My fiancee, Caitlyn Carnes, and I are so grateful and can't believe in this day and age that fairytales can come true."
The young couple postponed their wedding dreams due to tough economic times. On Easter weekend, Weeks and his fiancee received the surprise of a lifetime. The I SUPPORT VETS Initiative (isupportvets.org), its agency Absolute Production Services, and CaterBid.com, a unique online platform created by award winning caterer Rhona Silver, called the couple and told them that CaterBid.com will award them their dream wedding in the spirit of the royal wedding.
Weeks is the only surviving son to his mother, who lost her eldest to cancer and her youngest to crime, and Carnes is an only child. CaterBid.com Founder Rhona Silver states, "As a single mother, I can't think of a more deserving couple. To give back to a couple and their mothers who have given our country so much is what makes me most fulfilled."
