Online Wedding Service Helps Couple Whose Wedding Was Canceled by Hurricane Frances
by Anonymous

September 8, 2004 -- Thursday, September 2nd was a crazy day for Lei Lydle, Founder of AtlantaBridal.com (http://www.atlantabridal.com) and two Atlanta area families.

At approximately 12:15, Ms. Lydle received a call from a gentlemen named Jared who told her that his brother's wedding, previously scheduled for Saturday, September 4th in Daytona Beach, Florida, had been canceled because of the evacuation for Hurricane Frances.

Jared explained that his brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law were both from the Atlanta area and still wanted to get married on Saturday because they had been looking forward to this day for over a year.

Jared called the right place because AtlantaBridal.com offers a free Emergency Wedding Service to help couples when they are facing an unexpected last minute problem. In the past the site has helped couples find new limo services, new florists and even caterers at the last minute. This time they had to plan an entire wedding in 2 days.

Ms. Lydle asked Jared to email the details of the emergency so she could forward it on to nearly 500 of the best wedding vendors in Atlanta.

Within minutes of sending the email, Jared and Ms. Lydle both started receiving numerous calls and emails from vendors wanting to help out. Before it was over nearly 150 Atlanta area wedding vendors had contacted the Stacey family to help out.

The majority of the wedding was planned in a matter of hours. Jared could not believe the response he received from the AtlantaBridal.com vendors. He and his family were very appreciative of the help Ms. Lydle and AtlantaBridal.com were able to provide.

The wedding took place on Saturday and by all accounts it was beautiful. The groom was quoted by his mother as saying the wedding was "perfect, just perfect" and many of the guests said that they didn't think it could have been any better if it was in Daytona.
