How do you picture your wedding
day?
Maybe visions of all your family &
friends united together toasting and celebrating your union, laughter filling
the room with bouquets and boutnerrs being tossed. A celebration ending with a
pile of gifts. All for you, perfectly picked, from your wedding registry,
right??
Envision this twist..... Wanting
your wedding day to be more than a celebration of you, but to bring awareness
to a disease that is fastly spreading and effecting your brothers and
sisters. Finding a way to Band the community together to create an
atmosphere of LOVE. As your guest come together to celebrate God’s gift of
marriage, they can begin to Believe, Love is the Cure!.... Well, for the
groom Sean and Bride Kim, LOVE truly is the CURE.
Sean & Kim didn’t register
at Nordstroms for toasters or cutlery sets. Instead they showed their support
in SALs mission to spread awareness, find
a cure, and support Lupus Survivors. They
selflessly asked family and friends to give to Sisters Against Lupus in lieu of
wedding gifts. It is rare to find people who can cry with you while
offering you a lifting hand up, but that is the core of this beautiful
couple. Neither of them have Lupus or have family members effected by it,
but as Sean puts it "We're all brothers and sisters in God’s
eyes".
For Sean & Kim, showing
love & compassion for others, is second nature. So on their wedding
day, it was no surprise this day exemplified LOVE in every form. Some can
emphasize with struggle & offer a tissue to absorb the pain, but readied
action is rare to find. Sean & Kim acted by sharing the most important day
of their life to spread Lupus awareness and to raise money for a
cure.
From the depth of our heart, Sean
& Kim we thank you for showing us love in action, love that transcends
boundaries and finds the cure for Lupus! Thank you for being a living
example of His love. Thank you for going against the grain of the “traditional”
wedding. Thank you for having a servants heart. Thank you for sharing your love, with all who love the both of you, of whom God has made one.
WE LOVE YOU!!!
"You are the cure; you are not a victim you were perfectly
placed in an imperfect position so that the strength you have been given would
be the prescription
You are the cure; you stand when others have fallen, you
believe when others have forgotten, you inspire, you are a fighter, you are
faithful, you are strong. You are a
survivor
Because of you I stand and we can stand together
You are not alone; you are the cure
Survivor"
