Announcing America’s ONLY Wedding Wish Granting Organization
New nonprofit organization launches January 28, 2010, ready to grant Wedding Wishes across America!
Wish Upon a Wedding is the ONLY nonprofit organization of its kind in existence today. This brand new idea has created a sensation across the country, since the concept was first discussed among industry peers, in October of 2009.
Launching Thursday, Wish Upon a Wedding will produce weddings & civil union ceremonies at destinations across the United States for individuals facing terminal illness. Couples residing in or wishing to get married within 300 miles of the following cities are eligible to apply for weddings: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Orlando, New York and Chicago. Couples must be over the age of 18, unmarried, legal citizens of the United States, where at least one individual has been diagnosed with having less than one year three years to live. Applications will be available on the website.
Founder Liz Guthrie of San Jose Wedding Consultants explains, “By giving the gift of a dream wedding, we will grant some of the most intimate moments of these people’s lives, and help them share these memories with their closest friends and family members.”
Guthrie adds, “Many people facing life threatening illness do not have the strength, money or resources to plan a wedding or civil union ceremony. At last, the wedding industry has found a way to make sure that everyone’s wedding wishes come true. The vows may take place right at the hospital bedside, or at a more elaborate venue. No matter what the setting, Wish Upon a Wedding will provide everything necessary for individuals to marry their soul mates, in heartfelt and thoughtful ceremonies.”
Wish Upon a Wedding believes these ceremonies will help other people facing similar situations find their own sense of strength and hope.
Wish Granters needed in all locations.
By calling on regional volunteers known as Wish Granters, the organization is able to provide all the goods and services required for complete wedding packages. Email volunteers@wishuponawedding.org if interested in becoming a Wish Granter.
