As many of you know, the Oregon Wedding Showcase took place here at last month and featured a gorgeous displays of wedding cakes, bridal photography, floral displays and of course, the main attraction: the bridal fashion show....but there was something extra special about this year's showcase. It takes many hands and volunteers to put on an event such as this, so we were blown away when one of the event volunteers, Stacy Phipps, was surprised with a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Josh Phillips, while she was modeling a wedding gown onstage! Stacy, who had no idea about this plan, accepted the proposal with her family watching from the front row and is planning a December wedding. Congratulations to Stacy and Josh!! We wish you all the joy in the world! To read the full story, go to www.statesmanjournal.com & shine.yahoo.com.
