Richard & Natalie's 'Gift of a Wedding' fund raising page

Thank you for visiting our wedding page, we were inspired by the amazing work that 'Gift of a Wedding' is doing and in place of a wedding list we would be very grateful if you would donate to our chosen charity.

Quite simply, Gift of a Wedding is about bringing joy, love and happiness to those with a terminal or life-shortening illness. They do this by gifting wedding services and vow renewals to people regardless of age, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation

The idea for Gift of a Wedding started in 2012 when Patricia Harrison, wedding planner at the time, was approached by a young man aged 27 who had recently discovered that he was terminally-ill with brain cancer. Patricia and several other suppliers donated their services free of charge to put together the perfect wedding for this young man and his partner.

After realising that his case was not unique, Patricia set out researching the possibility of starting a charity that had the sole purpose of gifting weddings to terminally ill people in the UK. In 2013, Patricia made the charity her main mission and together with her team of dedicated volunteers has gifted over 200 weddings since.
