Gay terminally ill couple’s wedding a dream come true

A gay couple facing a life-threatening illness will have their wedding wish granted this August by an organization committed to making dreams come true.

National non-profit Wish Upon a Wedding (WUW) will host the nuptials of Ed Urbaniak, 45, and Erwin Lobo, 37.

Founded in January 2010, WUH provides ceremonies for couples facing life-threatening sickness. One of the criteria for selection is that one member of the couple be terminally ill with less than three years to live – a prognosis that is confirmed by a doctor.

Through the generosity of donors, the organization finances an all-expense-paid ceremony for the selected pair.

“By celebrating the courage & spirit of these couples, we help create lasting memories that will be cherished for years to come,” the group said in a statement on its website. “It is our hope that others facing similar situations will find hope, strength, and the promise of eternal love.”
