But more importantly, this event raised money for some pretty awesome organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Hitched Give Hope brings together wedding related vendors from around the region, allowing the wedding party to meet the vendors, bid on wedding products and services, and plan their weddings while raising money for a great cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brilliant, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Swanky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food, wine, flowers, rhinestones, and feathers…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"get<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Vendors were there to show off the best of what they have to offer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"get<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And the Young Survival Coalition (an organization which has been of immense help to me in my cancer battle) was one of the beneficiaries, along with The Dream Foundation<\/a>, which grants wishes to adults in the last year of their battle with life threatening diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such an amazing event. And thanks to all these events in October, we’ve got a good jump on hitting our budget for next year.  But I’ve got to admit, I’m thankful that October is over; I’m exhausted, and ready for a two week nap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I think I’m going to try to get one of those photo booths for all my events in the future. That was fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
