LEE COUNTY, Fla. - Under a Southwest Florida sun, Tara Woodring and Jeremy Crosby started their lives together as a married couple.

The two active-duty service members tied the knot Saturday at Tarpon Lodge on Pine Island, courtesy of military outreach program Operation Open Arms.

"They did everything from the cake to the invitations, the lodging, the venue, everything," says Woodring. "It was amazing."

The military couple is the 92nd to receive help with their wedding.

John Bunch, founder of Operation Open Arms, says the popularity of their free weddings has grown quickly since the first ceremony in 2005.

"A young marine asked me to be his witness at the courthouse in Lee County, and I said, 'I'm not going to do it because I want to put a full wedding on for you,'" Bunch says.

According to Bunch, a ceremony and honeymoon can cost as much as $20,000, and while many local businesses donate their services, the organization's coffers are drying up, as are the donors.

Without more help, he says, the group will soon have to decide whether to create a separate charity for weddings or stop offering the aid all together.

"The expense of the weddings is taking away from other parts of Operation Open Arms," Bunch says.

Those other services include free vacations, events, and programs. Bunch says they plan to continue those outreach efforts, but are in desperate need of donations to do so.
