Just a few short weeks ago I filled the role of Wish Ambassador with Wish Upon a Wedding to grant a vow renewal to a super sweet couple, Nancy & Jake. Nancy’s sister-in-law submitted their story to Fab-U-Wish, a breast cancer foundation that grants wishes to women with breast cancer. Bright Pink supporter and E! News personality Giuliana Rancic’s Fab-U-Wish in partnership with Bright Pink, Brides for a Cause and Wish Upon a Wedding gave this deserving couple a dream vow renewal along with the reception they never had. Their story can be found on the Wish Upon a Wedding Blog and a story by local news station KOMO4 News. Jen’s Blossoms also had the honor of being a Wish Granter for this wish by providing all the floral designs.
Many thanks to Kimberly Kay Photography for these images, Marius Photography for the video, Willows Lodge for your tremendous hospitality, and to the many other creative partners that made this event happen. A full listing of those involved can be found here.
