Here Comes the Bride...

In the small town of Fowler, Michigan there is a bridal shop. In this bridal shop there is a special room--it’s the place where hopes and dreams, disappointments and first and even second beginnings are launched. Becker’s Bridal is known to generations of women in central Michigan and beyond. It has been in business for over 70 years. It all began in 1934 when Grandma Eva, owner Shelley Becker Mueller’s grandmother, drove to Chicago and brought back a wedding dress to sell in the family general store. The store has remained in the Becker family ever since. Shelley has expanded the number of selections to 25,000. There are more gowns than town residents. The Magic Room by Jeffrey Zaslow tells Becker’s story, Shelley’s story and lets you glimpse into the lives of the Becker brides. An infatuating read! DB
