It happened one Wednesday night in St. Louis at Lumen Private Event Space, and in fact it happened LAST night! The Wish Upon a Wedding St. Louis Chapter was officially launched last night and it was a huge success! Wedding industry professionals from all over the city came by to show their support at the Caribbean-chic themed event! It was truly AMAZING! A heart-warming and emotional speech from chapter president, Lacy Branch, topped off the night right!

If you made it out, and we know about 160 of you did, we appreciate it! If you missed out, we hope you can make it to our annual Wish Upon a Wedding black-tie gala on Sunday, November 14, 2010! Now, check out some of the amazing pictures from last night!!

On the off chance you haven’t heard already, I wanted to take a moment to write about something fantastic coming to the wedding industry right in our own backyard – here in St. Louis. It’s Wish Upon a Wedding and it’s exploding nationwide right now! Founded in San Francisco in January 2010, Wish Upon a Wedding is the world’s first wedding wish granting organization. What’s great about Wish Upon a Wedding is that they base their work 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. Their primary purpose is to serve as a charitable foundation, dedicated to providing weddings and civil union ceremonies at destinations across the United States.”
