Brides Against Breast Cancer - We Granted a Wish!

My purpose for this blog is to give the gift of publicity to the vendors that I am honored to work with. I cannot even express how happy I was to be able to work with the Making Memories organization that grants a wish to a bride with breast cancer. In April, at the Cocktail Hour for the Brides Against Breast Cancer, a wish was granted to Cassiday and Douglas. The group opened their hears and provided the couple with a beautiful wedding, complete with flowers, cake, video, hair and makeup, music, gown, tuxedo, venue, and accomodations. It is one thing to be a professional in your field, but it is totally fantastic to see these professional give of their time and their talents and expertise, to grant a wish to make a couples dream come true.

The venue was the Safety Harbor Resort, the sunshine and warmth was provided by......well, you already know that, don't you? It was a fabulous day. The brides gown, the grooms tuxedo, the hair and makeup, the music, the flowers, the cake, EVERYTHING a couple could ever want in a dream wedding! I have never witnessed such gratitude by a bride. The love between them was very evident, and there was not a dry eye around as they exchanged their personal vows.

This post is to let you know that people really do care, and that dreams really can come true. My gratitude and that of the couple, truly goes to the following people who went above and beyond to Cassiday and Dougs dream a reality!
