The images in the video are real, and they are 1st hand images from what is left of her home. Her wedding jewelery, to her red wedding boots, to the ladies handkerchiefs and doilies she had been collecting were all taken away with the Tuscaloosa Tornado.
First, if you can, please donate to the American Red Cross. There are so many thousands of people who need shelter, support, and food. Secondly, if you have the ability to help us to create Martha's Southern Heirloom wedding and be some light in the midst of this tragedy, we would love to have your help. I know how amazingly generous the wedding industry is, and this is hopefully a way we can all reach out and make one brides wedding wonderful despite the devastation.

A special thank you to AnnMarie & Steven from iheart films for dropping everything to produce this video for me. I'd also like to thank my entire team for coming in to do the research on all the items we needed to collect. You all have such huge hearts and I am so grateful.
