For couples suffering from terminal illnesses, it’s often difficult to spend thousands of dollars, much effort, and innumerable hours on wedding planning when they consider these resources may be better spent to care for their loved ones. And rightly so. But despite debilitating illnesses and life-altering circumstances, all couples deserve the opportunity to seal their love with an “I do.”
That’s why Las Vegas wedding professionals are rallying together to make dreams come true for couples experiencing such difficult times. Through nonprofit organization Wish Upon a Wedding, couples are granted the resources they need for their wedding planning.
For example, a couple is assigned a dedicated wedding planner who will handle Las Vegas wedding planning details for them. This approach takes away wedding planning stress without taking a bride or groom away from the task of caring for their loved one. Also, for the wedding day, Las Vegas wedding professionals will offer their services to the couple free of charge. With caterers who donate food and venues that open their locations, an engaged couple can simply enjoy their wedding day as they make their vows and celebrate with friends and family.
“We know many, many couples, that are struggling with … such a dramatic turn of events in their lives, may put all other priorities on the backburner, so they can focus on caring for that loved one,” Adam Frazier, President of Wish Upon a Wedding’s Las Vegas chapter, said in Monday’s episode of “The Morning Blend,” a Las Vegas Channel 13 morning show. “But one of the things that is so important for them is finalizing their love and taking that plunge into getting married.”
For local couples, who are struggling to support one another through life-threatening illnesses or special life-altering circumstances, nonprofit organization Wish Upon a Wedding offers hope and help.
