Betty Lou Christie, Elsie Carroll, and Gail Swan are co-chairing the fundraiser for the commission that will feature wedding attire, mainly wedding dresses, that have a history of their own. There are also bridesmaid dresses and flower girl dresses.
 
One of the dresses dates back to 1902 and is the oldest dress in the collection.
 
The lunch counter area of the station will feature a collection of bride dolls, Barbie bride dolls, and wedding attire too fragile to be worn.
 
A bride and groom that were married in the station last year will also be in attendance.
