By

Emily Beers and Tyler Thiel will marry on Veterans Day.

Emily Beers and Tyler Thiel of Downingtown are the winners of the Veterans Day Wedding Giveaway sponsored by the American Helicopter Museum and Education Center in West Chester and John Serock Catering.

The free five-hour ceremony and reception for 100 guests on Sunday, Nov. 11 will also boast contributions from Blue Dog Printing & Design, Schaffer Sound, Matlack Florist, Baiada Photography, and Sagets Formal Wear.

“I was certainly surprised and instantly felt overwhelmed with joy and pride,” said Beers. “I am truly thankful for all the local businesses that are contributing to make this day possible for us.”

Beers is an Army veteran with eight years of service, including a tour of duty in Iraq.

“Being a veteran means so much to me,” she said. “I am proud that I served my country. I have PTSD and the thought of planning a wedding is a daunting task. This opportunity makes it possible for me to have an amazing wedding that we will appreciate forever while reducing my stress.”

Beers has a bachelor’s degree in Nursing and works as an emergency room nurse.

“Having a Veterans Day wedding allows my bridesmaids, a majority of whom are still active duty, to attend my wedding because it falls on a holiday weekend for them,” she said. “Having these ladies there will be such a wonderful experience. We have all wanted to get together for a few years and nothing seemed to work out. It is going to bring me such joy and pride to have them stand up there with me.”
