A Wedding Wish: Help Us Cross the Finish Line

Hi everyone,

We never imagined we’d be here, but life has a way of throwing surprises — some beautiful, some challenging. We’re getting married this September, and it’s supposed to be the most joyful moment of our lives. But right now, we’re facing an unexpected financial hurdle that’s put our big day at risk.

Our wedding venue was partially covered with the help of my stepdad — until he suddenly left in April. That left us with a $3,000 gap, and only a little over 60 days left to pay it off.

We’ve already poured our hearts (and savings) into planning a celebration filled with love, family, and meaning. But now, we need a little help from our village to get across the finish line. This fundraiser is our way of saying: If you’ve ever believed in love, second chances, or simply showing up for people when life gets tough — this is your moment to be part of our story.

What the funds will go toward:

• The final $3,000 balance for our wedding venue

• Ensuring we don’t lose our date or the deposit we’ve already paid

• Giving our family, friends, and especially our daughter a day full of joy, connection, and memories

If you’re able to give — no matter the amount — we would be beyond grateful. And if you can’t donate, sharing this campaign would mean the world to us too.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We truly believe love always finds a way — and with your help, we will stand hand-in-hand this September, ready to say “I do.”

With all our love,

Lily & Caleb
