Help My Mum's Wedding Dreams Come True!
Donation protected
My mother Marinda Merryweather and her fiance Ian Hobbs have been head over heels in love for over 14 years...
During this time, they have tried to plan their dream wedding more times than I can count. But each time, they have been extremely unlucky and needed to post pone the big date... Either due to losing a job, having to pay for emergency surgery, her mother being murdered or just spending their hard earned savings on helping out a friend instead.
So when they told us that they had set a new date for 23 March 2019, have paid a deposit for a lovely beach themed venue and purchased her dream wedding dress, we were all over the moon! Finally, it seemed like things were going their way for a change :)
Unfortunately however, disaster has struck again in the form of her dream wedding venue cancelling on them less than 3 months before the big day!
Now although most people would say that the venue doesn’t matter when you are getting to marry the love of your life... and of course this is true. But she has had 2 previous 'quickie/ registry office weddings' that ultimately didn’t work out... So, THIS time, she really wanted to do it right!
Subsequently the past few weeks have been spent frantically trying to find a venue that still has availability on her date. The problem is that she is basically stuck between a small little place, that can’t do her ideal theme and will very much be a 'make it work' situation... or another modest venue that she has fallen in love with, but that comes in at nearly 3 times her original budget!
We don’t have a lot of time to secure either venue, so we are desperately pleading for small contributions towards making their big day a little extra special!
No donation is too small, and every single one will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
