\u2022 \u00a0Last week I had the immense pleasure to work with Jon and Alyssa and so many great vendors for Wish Upon a Wedding<\/a>. \u00a0If you aren’t familiar with the organization hit up their website and read about it. \u00a0It’s an amazing charity and I am so proud to be a part of it. \u00a0To read a bit about their love story click here<\/a>. \u00a0Jon was diagnosed in 2009 with brain cancer and despite many surgeries and treatments, the cancer returned and is not curable. \u00a0Those of you that follow my blog will know that I recently lost my sister in law to cancer and lost my father to it in 2006 so needless to say, their story is one that is near and dear to my heart.<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u00a0All wedding vendors donated their services so be sure to check out the links and leave some love in the comments for these vendors who really went above and beyond to make sure this lovely couple had a day to remember!!!<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u00a0Luck was so much on our side this day. \u00a0Despite some really nasty storms coming through the area, they all went JUST north or JUST south of us. \u00a0The only thing we had all day was a quick batch of rain that neatly came in just as I finished up their photos. \u00a0Talk about timing!<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u00a0This is just a small, small fraction of their amazing day. \u00a0To view more photos, please visit Facebook and view their gallery<\/a>. \u00a0It was so hard to narrow these images down to a bloggable size – I originally had 75 images selected to blog! \u00a0While there are still more than my usual count, I at least did manage to trim it down from there.<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u00a0Their theme for their wedding was Endlessly which is after a different song but the song I immediately thought of one was the one by Joey McIntyre and Emanuel Kiriakou<\/a> by the same name which they wrote in the days after 9\/11. \u00a0This song fits their love so well I wanted to post the song as well as the lyrics. \u00a0It quite literally is one of my favorite songs, if not THE favorite.<\/p>\n

Tell me what you find
\nup in the open sky
\nI only hope you know
\nhow hard it is letting go<\/p>\n

And I will pray for you and me
\nthat our love lives on endlessly
\nthrough all of time we will endure
\nwe are earth and sea
\nendlessly<\/p>\n

Will you walk with me
\nthrough valleys crossing rivers deep
\nthen hand in hand
\nwe will be<\/p>\n

Oh yeah yeah<\/p>\n

And I will pray for you and me
\nthat our love lives on endlessly
\nthrough all of time we will endure
\nwe are earth and sea
\nendlessly<\/p>\n

So remember if ever you’re wanting to hide
\ndon’t you know what you’re feeling, I’m feeling inside
\nOh yeah
\nDon’t forget our dreams
\nIt lives on endlessly<\/p>\n

I will pray for you
\nand you will pray for me<\/p>\n

Endlessly<\/p>\n

So remember if ever you’re wanting to hide
\ndon’t you know what you’re feeling, I’m feeling inside<\/p>\n

We are earth and sea<\/p>\n

Endlessly, endlessly<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2022 \u00a0Jon lost his battle with cancer on November 13, 2011. \u00a0He will be deeply missed by all the hearts he touched.<\/p>\n
