Caplan Miller Events Blog

Recently Caplan Miller Events was fortunate enough to be a part of something truly remarkable. We were approached by the producers of ABC’s hit show Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and asked to throw a surprise wedding for a couple in the Austin area that they were building a new house for. We soon learned the remarkable story of Army Staff Sgt. Patrick Zeigler and his fiancée, Jessica Hansen. Patrick was shot 4 times in the 2009 shooting spree at Fort Hood. At one point doctors only gave Patrick a 5% chance to live, but live he did. Jessica stood by Patricks side through his long and painful recovery, and today Patrick is not only alive, but walking again!

Of course we were more than happy to participate in such a meaningful and important day in this truly deserving couple’s lives. We were given two weeks (yes I said two weeks people!) to pull together Patrick and Jessica’s dream wedding. Thanks to all of our wonderful vendors, we were able to pull it off and the results were truly magical! Being a part of the show was such a wonderful experience! Definitely a WOW moment for all of us! Our episode airs on February 20th on abc. Be sure to check it out and look for the CME team!
