Some weddings change you, and this was one of them š¤
In February, I had the absolute honor of working with to help plan Brenda & Tonyās wedding. For those who may not know, this incredible nonprofit organization grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal illness or life-altering health circumstances⦠and being part of that mission is something I will never take for granted.
This one hit especially close to home. When my mom was diagnosed with cancer, my own wedding became something deeply meaningful for our family - a moment of love, joy, and togetherness in the middle of uncertainty. So to help create that same kind of moment for another family⦠it meant everything.
Brenda & Tonyās story is one of love, resilience, and music. They met as teens in LA, bonded over their shared love of music, and even started a band together. Over time, friendship turned into something more, and after welcoming their son, they got engaged, ready to start their next chapter.
But life had other plans. During what should have been an exciting season of wedding planning, Tony began experiencing severe headaches. He was later diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
Thatās when Wish Upon a Wedding stepped in - to bring light, love, and a moment of celebration in the middle of something incredibly heavy.
Brenda & Tony: you are one of the strongest, most inspiring couples Iāve ever met. It was truly an honor to stand alongside you and help bring your wedding day to life.
And to the VENDOR DREAM TEAMāthere are no words big enough for the gratitude I feel. Every single person showed up with so much heart, generosity, and care. This day was only possible because of you, your donations & services, and your kindness š¤
