After criss-crossing the city all day, dropping off the dry cleaning, cooking (a hopefully healthy) dinner and hitting the playground with my daughter, I don’t often take enough time to think of what other’s may be dealing with everyday. I’m sure with planning a wedding, you can barely come up for air. Which is why I really fell in love with the concept behind Wish Upon a Wedding.

Launched in January 2010 by event planner Liz Guthrie, Wish Upon a Wedding seeks to grant the wish of couples with a terminal or serious illness to have a magical wedding or civil union that they can share with their loved ones. There are three types of wedding wishes based on the severity of the illness: Urgent Wish, Boutique Wish and Romantic Wish. While all the wedding planning components and travel arrangements are made by the dedicated staff at Wish Upon a Wedding, the organization is completely dependent on volunteers in all aspects of the wedding industry to offer services, in addition to financial and air mile donors.
Since their induction, Wish Upon a Wedding has already granted their first wish to Florence and Michael Davis on March 13, 2010, and a second is coming in April! I think this is a phenomenal and worthy cause, and I encourage all of you to visit wishuponawedding.org to read Florence and Michael’s story and to learn more about this organization. Cheers!
