Groom In Distress
I am a very proud man who has been humbeled theese past two years having my own company put out of business because my business partner stole our companies entire capital reserve. Well any way I lost evverything, went into a huge depression tring to fight back and reclaim my life especialy income.
Throughout this mess i was forced into, my fiance Virginia, was always there. Freaking out like me too but none the less she and I remained together, missurable with circumstances but happy for each other.
We had set our wedding date over a year ago, but postponed it due to our finances. We knew it would have to be a simple wedding and all, but as long as she takes my hand, i realy dont care except to say that SHE deserves to live out the best day of her life, the best way I can give it to her. This is her time to shine, have all of our family and friends see what an angle they have had all this time, dressed up like a tom boy!lol
We finanly decided, we would NOT let money stnd in the way any longer. If i have to stand in the street and say my vows while the light turns green, i`ll do it.
I was a proffesional for the past eleven years, and have decicated myself to helping my community.
I was Habit for Humanity committee chairman for our real estate association, and built 4 homes in 2 counties.
I was given a HUMANITARIAN Award, that was CREATED just to give to me!
I raised tens upon tens of thousands of dollars for charity including, Sharing and Caring, Shelter House, Animal Welfare Society and so on.
I, simply put. (and yes i know i am blowing my own horn) am a decent man, put in an imp[ossible situation and am in need myself of the very help I have given and given and given freely without wanting anything but the smile on a persons face whom was just releaved of a burdon they had.
But, life isnt always that simple, i am trying now to rely on not handouts but friends and family, asking for them to help us have a wedding with $0.00 to spend.
So far I know, I have to spend a few hundres on marriage license $93, etc
I have found a DJ (proffeessional) who will help for free! Thanks DJ!
Think we have a make-up and hair person
I even found a beautiful wedding dress at a local Goodwill store, still in box after proffesionaly cleaned for only $50 but she hates it! i cant let her wear it now, i would never forgive myself if she didnt want to wear it and did!
We need, supplies, decorations, chairs, tables, arch, arch decor, FLOWERS OMG flowers! Well everything for a wedding. If we can borrow it and pass it on or maybey buy if the price is low,
So I am asking for whatever you may consider to help me plan and carry out a great wedding,
Friends and family and those who are like me, good hearted Christian folks, please help me give her her best day!
