Military Marriage Blessed by a Fairy Godmother

Recently we had a truly memorable military wedding that occurred at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, located in Lake Geneva, WI. It was so touching, I just had to share.

Zachary and Samantha Schnabl were married in a last-minute ceremony on December 27, 2014 – six months earlier than their original wedding date due to Zachary’s rescheduled deployment date. Left with just days to plan an entire wedding, the couple rushed to book a location, find a dress and still enjoy their short time together.

When all was said and done, Zachary and Samantha had decided upon an intimate wedding in the lobby of Grand Geneva surrounded by their closest friends and family, officiated by Zachary’s father.

But what truly makes this memory one for the books occurred after there big moment. When the couple went to pay the bill, they were told there was no charge! During the public ceremony, a bystander was so moved that she quietly paid for the entire ceremony and reception. The “fairy godmother” of the Schanbl wedding is a frequent guest of the resort and requested to remain anonymous – however, she sends her best wishes to the happy couple.
