At LendingPoint, we love helping engaged couples, whether it’s through cost saving wedding and honeymoon tips or assisting with wedding and honeymoon loans. That’s why we were especially impressed when we learned about Wish Upon a Wedding — they take help for wedding couples to a new level in a meaningful way. The non-profit organization makes weddings and vow renewal ceremonies happen for those whose lives are challenged by dealing with life threatening illness or some other life altering circumstance.

Since 2010 Wish Upon a Wedding has been bringing together wedding and hospitality vendors along with event planning professionals for a worthwhile cause. These businesses and professionals donate their time, talents and products to put together wedding and vow renewal ceremonies for couples who truly deserve the assistance. The people they help are, as the website states, “those who have endured far greater challenges than many of us could possibly imagine.”

According to their website, the non-profit has granted wedding and vow renewal wishes to over 100 couples to date. With chapters currently in Northern California, Los Angeles, Chicago, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, New York and Philadelphia, they grant wishes in all 50 states. Talk about spreading the love to those who especially need hope and inspiration!

Speaking of inspiration — if the idea of helping this organization grant wedding wishes inspires you, visit their How to Help page to see how you, a group you’re associated with or your favorite wedding vendors can help. Want to understand further just how meaningful these weddings are to the couples who are helped? Check out this Forbes article.

Now, how’s that for a little heartwarming distraction from those post-holiday credit card bills that are starting to come your way? And, if making just one consistent monthly payment rather than juggling multiple due dates and never-ending minimum payments sounds appealing, consider a LendingPoint debt consolidation loan. An installment loan with us takes the headache out of holiday bills, and it might even improve your credit score.
