Mission and Program Overview

Mission

To grant weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal illness or other serious life-altering circumstances, regardless of sexual orientation.

Our organization takes care of all the details, offering couples a chance to relax and enjoy a very special day while surrounded by the love of their closest family and friends.

Weddings and vow renewals for couples facing serious illness or life-altering circumstances.
