Wish Upon a Wedding is the world's first non-profit wedding wish granting organization for couples facing terminal illness and serious life-altering circumstances. The organization's focus is to bring joy to these couples by giving them the wedding of their dreams without thought to the challenges they are facing in life.
In it's first year, Wish Upon a Wedding (WUW) has managed to open more than a dozen chapters to serve Wish applicants. Wedding vendors across the US have generously sponsored products and services to the organization to help support this wonderful cause.
Yesterday, the organization posted a sad announcement on their national Facebook page: their first-ever wish recipient had succumbed to cancer. They also posted a link to the story of the couple's wedding. After reading the story, I was overcome with emotion. It was at that moment I realized the impact that this organization has made, and will continue to make, on many lives. It was also at that moment that I decided that I wanted to be a part of this amazing movement that is helping to celebrate more than just the union of two people, but is helping to celebrate LIFE.
As a wedding planner, I am fortunate to be a part of one of the most special days of a person's life: their wedding day. I can only imagine how much more special it is to a couple that has been burdened with terminal illness of a loved one. So, in saying all this, I have decide to apply to become a wish granter for Wish Upon a Wedding. It would be my pleasure to assist in any way possible to such a wonderful cause.
