Tampa Vendors Plan Free Wedding for Couple Affected by COVID-19
We teamed up with a group of incredible Tampa Bay wedding vendors to giveaway an entire wedding experience to a directly couple affected by COVID-19.
Every year, as a part of our mission, we giveaway our wedding pet care services to a couple that rescued their dog.
With the many challenges brought on by a global pandemic, we wanted to make an even bigger difference this year so we teamed up with a group of incredible Tampa Bay wedding vendors to giveaway an entire wedding experience to a couple directly affected by COVID-19.
Like so many other couples, Richard & Stacy’s wedding plans were flipped upside down by the Coronavirus pandemic. They were both full time in the hospitality industry & both lost their jobs when their employers, like many others, were forced to close down in March. Despite the many set backs, including no income in sight, these two stayed positive & made the best of their situations.
What they said got them through all of the trials & tribulations was their undying love for each other.
When we learned they had a dream to include their rescue maltese-mix, Bojangles, in their special day, we knew this was the right couple for our giveaway & that they deserved to have their love celebrated!
Bojangles, also known as Bobo, was such an important part of the wedding.
At 10 years old, he’d been a big part of the family for many years & he was one of just a few guests in attendance on the big day.
He helped walk the Bride down the aisle, gave out lots of love to everyone throughout the day & looked mighty handsome in his tuxedo.
Congratulations to this beautiful family for showing us that no matter what the world has in store, love always finds a way!
A huge thank you to all the amazing vendors
that donated their services
to make this couple’s dream come true:

We arrived at the shelter to break Oakley, the rescue pup, out of his cage.
He was so excited for an adventure!
We brought him to the Hotel Zamora where a group of fellow wedding vendors had organized a styled wedding photo shoot. We knew this would be a great opportunity for Oakley to be exposed to new environments & people. Socialization for any shelter dog is incredibly important, especially if you can start at a young age.
It was also a fun chance to get a few professional photos of Oakley to promote his adoption. The wedding vendors are also able to use these photos to showcase to their couples that they are pet friendly. Of course, the photos came out ADORABLE!

It turns out it was truly Oakley’s lucky day because one of the wedding coordinators with Blue Skies Weddings & Events fell in love with the sweet boy & just knew he would be a perfect addition to their family!
They made things official the next day at the shelter & now Oakley (they kept his name) is living his best life in a loving home!
Congrats to Oakley & his humans!
We are so happy we could help you find each other!
