Wedding bonbonniere with a difference Posted on October 6, 2010February 25, 2018 by Carly du Toit The wedding of Josie Standing and Ashley Pobje was a perfect day of celebration with family and friends on October 3rd 2010. Both Josie and Ashley have a family history of cancer and chose to support cancer research as part of their big day. Rather than giving the traditional lollies as gifts to their guests – they chose to donate to cancer research and give each guest a ribbon to represent their donation. Josie & Ashley were hoping this would make a small difference and encourage guests to think about donating themselves. The ribbons made a bigger impact than anyone expected. For one groomsman they were particularly significant as his father is currently undergoing treatment for bowel cancer and appreciated the gesture of a donation to cancer research rather than a traditional guest gift. Thank you Josie & Ashley for your generosity and for including cancer research on such a special occasion & we are delighted to hear about your wonderful day!
