Joanie + Gabriel | A Love Share Events Dream Wedding Giveaway

International Weddings , May 1, 2014

My first wedding of the year was a special one. I was lucky to be a part of Love Share Events’ first ever Montreal Dream Wedding Giveaway. Love Share Events comprises of a group of wedding professionals who have all come together to give back to the community. Early in my career I received a lot of help from other vendors in the industry. It was surprising how open and giving many people were. I’ve always been thankful for them and wanted to pass along the good karma. This was my chance.

Among a collection of applications, Love Share Events chose Joanie and Gabriel for their Dream Wedding Giveaway. J+G had to cancel their wedding when their son was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis. This chronic disease causes constant pain in the joints, making it difficult to move. The affliction affects only 1/1000 children. Treatment was expensive; quickly depleting their savings and resulted in the postponement of their wedding.

The road to making this wedding happen was surely difficult, but with the surprising generosity of several members in the wedding industry it all came together. At the end I’ll list all the individuals who have generously donated their time and services; but first, let’s have a look at some shots from the day.
