Many people are unaware of a truly amazing wish-granting organization, so I wanted to help spread the word. Officially launched in January 2010, Wish Upon a Wedding is a nonprofit organization that provides weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal illness or other serious life-altering circumstances. Based on the concept that two people in love should never be denied the chance to marry their soul mate, this organization helps couples who have endured much greater challenges than the average person. Couples facing these situations generally don’t have the time, money, or energy to plan a wedding. That’s where Wish Upon a Wedding steps in. They take care of all of the details from finding the venue and vendors to designing and implementing the entire wedding theme. They give these couples the opportunity to relax and spend the day celebrating their love while surrounded by family and friends.
There are currently over a dozen chapters that service couples in or within 300 miles of each location. Additionally, new chapters are being opened regularly.
All of the chapters around the country, are currently seeking donations. Whether it be a donation of your money, your time, or your services, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved with this amazing organization.
A few months ago, I signed up to be a Wish Granter for the MD/DC/VA chapter. I have not yet had the chance to work on a wedding with this organization, but I am very excited and looking forward to getting that opportunity. This really is a great cause and I hope that in spreading the word, we can inspire more people to get involved and open more chapter across the country.
So, if you are interested in making a donating, or if you are a wedding industry professional and interested in granting wishes, click here to find a chapter near you. And if you don’t have the time, resources, or interest in donating at this time, please just help us by spreading the word about this organization and all of the good that they do.
