Generosity saves wedding day

I would like to take an opportunity to express my gratefulness to TLC Boutique in downtown Frederick.  My bridesmaids all purchased their dresses for my Sept. 10 wedding from TLC back in the beggining of the year.  We were "ahead of the game," or so we thought.  On July 4, my fiance's brother's home burnt to the ground in Urbana.  One of the bridesmaids dresses was lost in the fire.  I contacted TLC Boutique on July 5, anxious and worried about replacing the dress in time for the wedding.  Terri and Valerie calmed my nerves, rush ordered the dress, and upon receipt of the dress, replaced it free of charge.

In this hectic time of planning a wedding, as well as dealing with this tragedy in our family, I could not have asked for a better service from the ladies at TLC.  Their kind nature and calming personalities made this horrible tragedy that our family had to deal with, just a little easier to get through.

I'm happy to report that the community has really stepped up in helping this family in their time of need.  They are slowly getting back on their feet.  The response from Frederick has been amazing.  Thank you to everyone who has helped and are continuing to help.

Thank you TLC Boutique for replacing the bridesmaid dress free of charge.
