The Celebrant Foundation & Institute is celebrating their 10th anniversary this weekend with the graduation of this year's class and a professional development day, a day of wisdom sharing.
I was honored to be asked to talk about a wedding I did last year, a wedding for a special couple. The bride was terminally ill with breast cancer. The NJ Chapter of the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) enlisted wedding vendors to donate their services for her wedding. I was asked by the president of the NJ chapter of ABC to be the officiant. My presentation was a case study/story about how as a celebrant I approached working with Tina and Paul.
Candice Benson, the NJ chapter president of ABC, caught the attention of the national president of Wish Upon A Wedding, a national organization that works with couples when one of them is terminally ill. Candice was recruited to establish a NJ chapter of Wish Upon a Wedding,and the chapter was launched last winter with a gala event.
So I asked Candice to join me in telling the story of Paul and Tina's wedding and to let celebrants attending this conference how to get involved in becoming a Wish Granter for Wish Upon a Wedding chapters in their area.
Always a pleasure to work with Candice...and her wedding and event planning company is first rate too....The Finishing Touch .
Good luck to all the 2011 celebrant graduates!
Julie Laudicina, Celebrant!
