Wish Upon A Wedding Southern California Launch Party at Seven Degrees in Laguna Beach

I just can't seem to get enough of this organization. If you missed my previous posts on Wish Upon A Wedding, here's a short recap. Wish Upon a Wedding is a non-profit dedicated to granting wedding wishes to couples facing terminal illness. It has been amazing watching the rapid growth of WUW. The founding chapter (in the Bay Area) just opened in January of this year and there has been an overwhelming response across the globe from vendors in the event industry wanting to be a part of such an amazing cause. To date, there are 19 chapters that have either already formed or are currently forming, not to mention the continual stream of other locations waiting to open their doors to couples in need.

The WUW Northern California chapter just granted their first wish to this very deserving couple - Christian and Rehanna. All you need to do is take a few minutes to check out this video by Kristen Bliss to see their love story and you'll catch a glimpse of just what Wish Upon A Wedding is all about.

Wondering who's the founder of this fab organization? Her name is Liz Guthrie. This organization would not have been possible without her vision and passion for couples like Christian and Rehanna. And it was such a treat for me to finally meet her in person.
