Support Aly's Dream Wedding in Colombia

Donation protected
Hello, my name is James Hayden. I am raising money for my birthday wish. My birthday wish is to give my wife her dream wedding in Colombia in front of her family and friends, as well as mine who are willing to make the trip. We got married barefoot on the beach in Florida when they arrived in the USA on a K-1 visa (fiancé Visa). It was small and very informal. My wife had only our son as immediate family at the wedding, and at that time, they hardly knew anyone who was at the wedding.

I want Aly to be the first in her family (she is the oldest of 5 girls) to have a traditional fancy wedding day...and honeymoon if possible. Something we didn't have. Aly's family is spread out in Colombia; her dad's family is from the north, a small town named Maicao, and her mom and sisters live in Bogota. She also has friends and family in Santa Marta, Colombia. Getting them all to one place will take a lot of travel and money.

Aly hasn't seen her dad, grandmother, and others in Maicao since we visited in 2019. She hasn't seen her mom and sisters since they arrived in the USA in April of 2022. This is something that has not been easy for her or our son.

My 60th birthday is Friday, March 14th, and this is my birthday wish. This wish can only come true with the help of others.

Of course, all my friends from around the world are invited to this wedding if we can make it happen. It would give you all a chance to see the beautiful country of Colombia with us as your guides. It is a beautiful country and nothing like what they show you on Netflix.

Please consider donating $10, $20 or whatever you feel comfortable with. I know we can make this happen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Please read my series of "A Birthday Wish" on my page, I made them all public.
