BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) – A lucky Brazos County couple won the annual American Heroes Dream Wedding Giveaway at the Inn at Quarry Ridge in Bryan and celebrated with friends and family last weekend.
Rick and Beatriz were announced as winners of the American Heroes Dream Wedding Giveaway 2024 in March of this year and tied the knot this past weekend, August 17th.
The annual contest awards a couple who serve the community as military personnel, first responders or teachers with an all-inclusive wedding package, including pre- and post-wedding necessities such as a rehearsal dinner, engagement photos, invitations and even a honeymoon.
“We just want to give back to the community,” Benjamin Thompson of the Inn at Quarry Ridge told KBTX. “Especially those who are always giving. Like first responders, paramedics, teachers, people like that. People who maybe don’t get anything very often, and this is just a way to give back and show our love and appreciation for those people.”
Rick, a paramedic with Bryan College Station Emergency Services, proposed to Beatriz, a Bryan ISD kindergarten teacher, during a photo shoot two years after they met. They were the sixth couple to be honored with a civil ceremony.
