Las Vegas Now Has a “Wish Upon A Wedding” Chapter
Las Vegas is now blessed to have a Wish Upon a Wedding Chapter. When you attend the August 20 & 21 Bridal Spectacular, please stop by their booth and find out how you can help in this very worthy cause. Wish Upon a Wedding was founded based on the concept that two people in love should never be denied the chance to marry their soul mate, even if they only have a few years (or months) to live. Here is some basic information on how you can become involved either to have a Wish Granted or to become a Wish Granter.
How To Qualify for a Wish:
To qualify for a wish, the Applicant must be unmarried, 18 years or older, a legal citizen of the United States, and must have been diagnosed with less than three years to live. Wish Upon a Wedding, or any affiliated groups, shall never discriminate on the basis of race, creed, gender, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, physical limitations, or disabilities. Wish Upon a Wedding’s headquarters are located in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Two of the main types of wishes that are granted are:
BOUTIQUE WISH This type of wish is for wish recipients looking for an intimate event that have been given less than 3 years to live. This wish cannot be a destination wish, as it is done within 100 miles of the current residence of the Wish Recipient.
Total Number of Guests including Recipients: 25 people
ROMANTIC WISH This type of wish may not be urgent in nature, but one of the Wish Recipients has been given a terminal prognosis of less than 3 years to live. This wish can be a destination wedding if determined ok by WUW board and the Wish Recipient’s physician{s}.
Total Number of Guests including Recipients: 50 people
