Wish Upon a Wedding is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization that provides weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal illness or other serious life-altering circumstances, regardless of sexual orientation. Often, couples facing such situations do not have the energy, time, money, or resources needed to plan their wedding. Wish Upon a Wedding takes care of all the details, offering couples a chance to relax and enjoy a very special day while surrounded by the love of their closest family and friends.

At Jay’s we were excited and overjoyed to join with Wish Upon a Wedding to provide Lisa and Douglas the wedding of their dreams at Bella Collina. Such a sweet couple. So many amazing vendors came together to make this WISH possible. New Classic Films and Jim Kennedy Photography documented the day and you can see the gorgeous photos here. The Orange County Register even came out to cover the nuptials. The day was flawlessly executed by Sharon Gall of Once Upon a Time Weddings and officiated by Rich Anderson. The Club house was beautifully decorated by Fantasy Floral Design, Wildflower Linen, and Fusion Linens with their fabulous chairs and lounge furniture. Dinner and appetizers were provided by Jay’s Catering AND of course a gorgeous cake by Sweet Gems.

A beautiful day, a loving couple, and a wish for a lifetime of love and happiness to Lisa and Douglas.

It’s National Doughnut Day!! Established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to raise much-needed funds during the Great Depression, and to honor the Salvation Army “Lassies” of WWI, it is observed on the first Friday in June.

Although we don’t make doughnuts, we make a pretty mean beignet. Sprinkled with sugar and a lovely dipping sauce… DIVINE!

So, if I have you craving doughnuts now, head on over to Krispy Kreme for your free doughnut. That’s right, in celebration of this national holiday that is near and dear to their heart, they are giving away free doughnuts all day in any flavor. Enjoy!
