You may remember Lisa’s story:  On February 14th, 2009 Get Hitched Give Hope had the privilege of photographing Lisa’s dream wedding.  Her wish was for the wedding she never had – and that is exactly what she received.  She was able to celebrate life, her love for her husband of 20+ years, and share it with all of her friends, family, and three beautiful daughters.

On January 6th, 2010 Lisa lost her battle with cancer.  Here is the message we received:
“Last night at 11:45, Lisa lost her battle with Breast Cancer. A lot of you were instrumental in making her wish come true last year and gave her a wedding on Valentines day. I want to thank you so much for being a part of her life. It may have been for a short time but it meant the world to her.  Thank you for what you do and for who you are.

Here are a few images from the day, and if you would like to see the story as originally published click HERE or HERE.

HOORAY!!  We’ve been visiting the Girl Power Hour events for the past two years and this October 15th at the Duque Salon in Ballard the GPH pink event will be featuring Get Hitched Give Hope as their FEATURED CHARITY!  That’s right!

(but don’t bring a gown – if you want to donate your gown visit THIS website Brides Against Breast Cancer Foundation.  They love to collect gowns!)

On our PR team one of our big goals is for Ellen DeGeneres to know about our fabulous event (the of course come to the party & maybe even invite us to dance with her!) and so at the beginning of 2009 we grew our PR team from local to National, we have Giver Girls in other states writing letters to Ellen, watching her show (research right?!), twittering to her and just letting her know that we are here and that we love her!

WELL – don’t get too excited now but… turn on the Ellen show on Monday morning 11am to channel 5 (if you live in Seattle, or click HERE to see what channel in your city) and WATCH NICHOLLE CHANDLER DANCE WITH ELLEN!!!!!!!!!!!     (Nicholle is a FABULOUS supporter of Get Hitched Give Hope – she was the QUEEN of the 08 raffle, a fabulous national PR member & will be our raffle coordinator for the 2009 event!!)

Freak out right??  I’m recording it – so if you miss it, come on over and we’ll watch it together!!
