We would like to announce to everyone a part of our wedding that we are VERY VERY excited about! We both feel so blessed to have so much and to be provided for, so we have chosen in leau of wedding gifts, we would like to encourage our wedding guests to please donate to a charity that we feel very passionate about.
We found this precious group while Demond was doing massages for an amazing swing convention that we went to with my mom in Ft Mitchell, KY last month. All of the money raised went to this group to help pay for their lessons and costumes and travel...they are the Down Syndrome Dancers!!!!! There is a great studio in Cincinnati that donates space and one night a week for anyone with Down Syndrome to come and learn to dance. We were both in tears and so touched by this amazing group!!! They are taught many routines to perform and hopefully will be able to make it to perform for all of us at the reception so that you can meet them!
You can see them perform at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5mHC5QndoI
It is our greatest desire to help this group to continue to be able to teach and perform and all donations will touch our heart more than you could know! |
