This is our why…
When we first discussed doing our full wedding giveaway, we wanted the winning couple to be two people who really needed it and who deserved it. And we couldn’t have found a more deserving couple than Phoebe and Stefano.
Phoebe wrote in her entry that from a young girl, her dream was to have her Grandad walk her down the aisle. With grandad having some recent health issues, it started to look that that dream may never become a reality. On the 25th of March 2026, we made that dream come true for her and gave her and her new husband, Stefano, a full free wedding. And what a gorgeous day it was.
Stay tuned for more to come.
