Wish Upon a Wedding - My Current Wish List

This special Saturday post comes to you because yesterday got away from me :o) I had this whole fabulous plan to write about Wish Upon a Wedding - an INCREDIBLE charity that I'll tell you about in just a minute - on Friday since that is the "Wish List" Post day. Sadly, the day flew by while I was 1) going on a run (weird, I know!) 2) finalizing an order with a client 3) meeting with a soon-to-be baci bride (Yay, Natalie!!!) and 4) packing for a wedding this weekend. So. . . let's just pretend it's Friday and my wish mentions coincide :o) Thanks!

Happy Friday everyone (because it's Friday, remember)!

I wanted to do something special with "My Current Wish List" today because on Wednesday I headed to Columbus for Wish Upon a Wedding's Ohio Launch Party. To quote the charity's site, "Wish Upon a Wedding is the world’s first nonprofit wish granting organization providing weddings and vow renewals for couples facing terminal illness and serious life-altering circumstances regardless of sexual orientation. Our organization offers couples a chance to enjoy a very special day, without any thoughts of existing health or other serious issues, while surrounded by their closest family and friends." (I couldn't have said it better, so why try - lol!) Wish Upon a Wedding was recently founded in January of this year, but they've already helped several couples, like their first completed Wish for Florence and Michael, create lasting memories with wonderful weddings and are in the process of helping so many more!!

I chose to become involved with the organization because it truly is wonderful - everyone deserves to have their wedding dreams come true and Wish Upon a Wedding makes those dreams a reality. So my wish for today is this: make Wish Upon a Wedding even more successful by helping out! As a vendor, you can become a Wish Granter yourself or donate new products. As a community member, you can purchase and wear the gorgeous Wishing Star to show your support or simply make a contribution. There are also several other ways to help listed here. I, along with Wish Upon a Wedding, thank you in advance!!
