The Children's Wish Foundation One of our favourite things about this bridal show is the involvement of The Children's Wish Foundation. "We are very proud to support a very worthwhile charity that helps terminally ill children's wishes come true. These children need our support to bring a little sunshine into their frail lives," organizer Dianne McDonald told us.
