A wedding is supposed to be a joyous occasion. But for Sumer Myers, it was hard to smile, even though she was going to say “I do” to the love of her life, Staff Sergeant Christopher John Masters of the United States Air Force.
The bride unexpectedly lost her stepmother just days before her ceremony. The death followed that of her stepfather and stepbrother.
“I just came back in yesterday from her funeral so to have the wedding today is just a lot to take in in one week,” Myers told Fox 5 Las Vegas while fighting back tears. “And to not have her here, or my stepdad, or my stepbrothers, it’s just a lot.”
That’s why the Fox 5’s Surprise Squad, which gives back to those in need in Las Vegas, showed up to make the day extra-special.
Aside from pampering Myers with professional hair and makeup, the team also changed her venue from a park to the glorious Sunset Springs Ranch, which once belonged to Wayne Newton.
The moment clearly touched the bride (much like the one whose groom performed a very special song on their wedding day).
“I love how everything turned out and I think those of us who weren’t able to be with us today were here with us in spirit,” Myers said. “Don’t ever give up on your big day.”
