Finalist 01 Leading

Louis Chaix & Marine Bourquin

@louischaix

Louis survived Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis as a child, then went on to chase his dream of playing hockey in the U.S. In 2022 he rollerbladed 2,902 miles from LA to Times Square to raise funds and awareness for the disease that nearly took his life, setting a world record for the fastest cross-country skate. Now he and Marine are dreaming of getting married at HR Ranch, bringing their families together from both sides of the world to celebrate everything they've built.

Cathy Cruz & Ethan Rodriguez

@cat.cruz412

Cathy and Ethan have been together 12 years, since they were young and had nothing. They've weathered financial hardship, incarceration, and nearly two years of Cathy battling seizures, and they've stayed together through all of it. Their dream wedding date falls exactly 13 years to the day their story began. This giveaway would let them finally celebrate the love that got them through the hardest seasons of their lives.

Finalist 03 Leading

Akyra Cowley & Spencer Cowley

@akyra.txrealtor

High school sweethearts since age 15 and 16, Akyra and Spencer got married in 2021 but had to cancel their wedding when Akyra's mom was diagnosed with cancer, losing over $15,000 in the process. Family came first, no question, but Akyra still has the dress hanging in her closet. Now, years later and with two boys of their own, they're hoping for the chance to finally have the celebration they had to give up.
