Last summer, we teamed up with two dozen of Atlanta’s top vendors to put on a free wedding for a Georgia essential worker.
So many brave people put their lives on hold to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Countless weddings were rescheduled or canceled, but 2020 was a year where we all needed love more than ever.
To celebrate and honor these sacrifices, we hosted this free wedding worth $75,000 for winners Nikita and Andre, and it was, well…dreamy.
“Our wedding was as beautiful as a dream.”
- Nikita, Dream Wedding Giveaway Winner + Miss Milly’s Bride
“The vendors worked countless hours to make our dream wedding happen. We are so thankful for this opportunity.
We appreciate ALL of the vendors who came together to help make our day special.”
- andre, dream wedding giveaway winner and miss milly’s groom

“Dressed to the nines, before a backdrop dripping in flowers, Andre Archer and Nikita Horton rang in a new chapter of their lives in glamourous unforgettable fashion,” Fox 5 Atlanta described in their feature on the dream wedding.
What is one thing you love about nikita that most people don't know?
“She’s really a big baby at heart! She tries to act tough, but she’s so loving and kind.”

“Their dream day would have cost the couple six figures had it not been for the giveaway, which was offered to medical workers who had to postpone their weddings due to the coronavirus pandemic,” Naleid Ushe wrote for People.
What is one word you hope describes your first year of marriage?
Nikita: “Elevation.”
Andre: “Adventurous.”
How would you describe the beauty of your day and what your wedding looked like?
“The day was truly something special - a night to remember.
We laughed, we cried, and we danced. So many emotions occurred and we had the time of our life.”

“Miss Milly’s was a joy to work with. They were patient and extremely nice throughout our journey of working together.”
