PLEASE NOTE: Enrollment in the contest is closed. To vote for the couples in the contest, visit KTTS.com.
KTTS is hosting a wedding in support of Operation Us. One lucky couple from the area will “win a wedding” courtesy of KTTS and its sponsors. Operation Us will provide the relationship education to help the couple stay happy for years to come.
KTTS will get you hitched; Operation Us will keep you happy.
Couples wishing to compete in the “Win a Wedding” contest will need to put together their application DVD and submit it sometime between July 6 and July 17. They must also agree to abide by all the contest rules listed below. Some couples may prefer to record their own two-minute story, but for those who need a little help or who do not have access to a camera, Ozarks Marriage Matters has arranged to help. Recording sessions are being arranged at Forest Institute on Wednesday evening, July 8 from 6:00-8:30 p.m. and again on Saturday morning, July 11 from 9:00—to noon. Couples who would like assistance in this area should call the Operation Us office at (417) 823-3469 to schedule an appointment in advance.
Directions to to the Ozarks Marriage Matters and Operation Us offices at Forest Institute.
