Brian Gargano and Jennifer Batugo are two love birds who wanted nothing more than to show their love and commitment through marriage.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, in March, when they began planning their August wedding, Jennifer was diagnosed with a rare aggressive form of breast cancer.\u00a0 The doctors told her that she may only have a few months to live.<\/p>\n

Instead of calling it quits and giving up, the happy couple decided they would move their wedding to April (one month away!) and have a beautiful intimate ceremony\u2026but how could they pull it off in a month?<\/p>\n

Brian called L.A. Wedding officiant Elysia Skye for help.\u00a0 Unbeknownst to Brian, she was a breast cancer survivor herself who runs a breast cancer support organization<\/a>.\u00a0 She was so moved by the couple’s story, that she decided to throw them their dream wedding.<\/p>\n

Skye started a fundraiser which received $18,000 in donations for the couple and she contacted numerous organizations which collectively donated everything they needed for a gorgeous Japanese garden theme wedding!\u00a0 The entire wedding and planning was pulled off in only 10 days!<\/p>\n

“There are so many bad things happening today, it’s good to know there are good people out there, willing to help complete strangers,” Brian Gargano said.<\/p>\n

Congrats Brian and Jennifer!<\/p>\n
