I would like to bring your attention to a wonderful organization called Wish Upon A Wedding, founded by Liz Guthrie.
Wish Upon A Wedding produces weddings & civil union ceremonies at destinations across the United States for individuals facing life-threatening illness. It was founded based on the concept that two people in love should never be denied the chance to marry their soul mate, even if they only have months (or weeks) to live.
Wish Upon A Wedding will be granting their first wish on March 13th! The beautiful bride, Florence, is currently at stage 4 breast cancer.
Even if you are not a vendor YOU can still help! You can spread the word about Wish Upon A Wedding through twitter, facebook, or LinkedIn. You can make a traditional donation or a donation in lieu of or in addition to favors, or in lieu of a traditional gift registry. You can also donate airline miles (what a great idea!) for families whose loved ones need to fly in for the ceremony. Please spread the word about Wish Upon A Wedding. Let’s make these wishes come true!

Calling all photographers, wedding planners, brides, and everyone else in between! Issue No. 007 is our last issue to celebrate 2009. So we have a challenge for you! We’re looking for the best photos and/or videos that have touched you in a special way, that have made you go awww, that have blown your mind and go wow!, and may have moved you to tears of joy, laughter or because of a special loving moment. We’re looking for photos or videos that’s packed with emotions! Show us a bride reading a letter from her husband-to-be just moments before their wedding, the ridiculous pose from a photobooth that made you laugh so hard you cried, the expression on a man who just married the love of his life, and any other special intimate moments that have been caught on camera. We want to see them! We also accept pranks, silly moments, sweet vows, love letters and speeches. Please send your submissions by December 29 to info@utterlyengaged.com with a subject line: TEAR JERKER!
*Note: All submissions will be subject to approval prior to publication.
We are very excited to introduce this new feature on our website. We felt that the journal is a wonderful addition to the magazine because there are so many things that go into producing a magazine that we would love to share but you won’t see in the issue! So in the next days we’ll be going behind the scenes for the making of Issue No. 006. It was super fun and we think you’ll like it too. Acting as our resident blogger, Alison Zamora will keep you in the loop with behind the scene actions, more DIY ideas and inspirations, highlights on our sponsors, and other fun stuff we can’t fit in the magazine. We hope the journal will keep you inspired in between issues. Enjoy!
If you are interested in becoming a gueest blogger, please contact any one of us. We would love to hear from you! Let’s start blogging!
