Wish Upon A Wedding

Wish Upon a Wedding, as I mentioned a while back in my last post, has granted Jen and I our wedding wish.

Our wedding planner, Tina, has been hard at work getting positions filled, and finding venues and volunteers. A marvelous photographer and videographer have already met with us for the engagement session, so the foundation can share our story.

Susanne & Jennifer : A Love Story

Many thanks to Marla Austin Photography and A Sound Impression for their hard work!

Our wedding party has all confirmed being able to attend, and the invitations have been mailed out. We're already starting to get the RSVP cards back.

Sunday, the 28th of September, is looking to be a long day, as we have to be at Omaha by ten in the morning to get checked into our hotel, and then meeting at the parking lot of the Millard Plaza Ballroom in Omaha to board the party bus donated for the evening by the Jone-Z company. We'll have a stopover in Council Bluffs for the wedding party to get hair and makeup done for the ceremony, and then off to Shelby, Iowa to the Willow Creek Glass Chapel for the ceremony.

The wedding colors are raspberry pink, gray, and black. Jen's dress is pink, mine is a soft dove gray, and the wedding party will be in black. There will also be touches of green and teal to represent the metastatic breast cancer ribbon.

We're asking that in lieu of gifts, donations be made to METAvivor Research & Support, Inc. in our names.

In the meantime, I've been writing posts on the YSC Forum and I should repost them here as well. It captures my frustrations with having metastatic disease, and the overall lack of support and research that goes into a cure for us.
