Christopher Legault hasn't added a story.
On August 29th, 2015 tragedy struck. A massive windstorm hit Vancouver with 90km per hour winds and destroyed our friend's dream wedding. They had a beautifully decorated 90 foot by 30 foot tent set up on the dock of the Burrard Yacht Club in North Vancouver. The wind picked up dramatically and blew the tent off the dock, destroying all the place settings, glassware, decorations etc. Within minutes the tent sunk to the bottom of the Burrard Inlet. My friend tried to cancel the wedding twice, but love won that day. Amidst the devastation of losing $10,000 in a venue they could no longer use, the wedding party, wedding guests and Burrard Yacht Club members sprung to action and salvaged what they could. They picked up the tables and chairs and moved them quickly into the club house of the yacht club and created a makeshift space for their ceremony and wedding reception. The unfortunate part of this is they did not have the appropriate insurance to cover the loss or damage of the rental equipment. I ask you to dig deep and help them cover the cost of these expenses. In the past two years this couple has gone through open-heart surgery, their house flooded and they had to put down their beloved dog. They are amazing people who love each other so much and deserve so much happiness. Thank you.

They are wonderful people who have been through a lot after recently losing their family dog and some health problems. Thank you for anything you can contribute
