Win the wedding of your dreams from the Manatees!
VIERA, Fla. -- Would you like to have the wedding of your dreams at Space Coast Stadium? It's time for the second annual wedding giveaway to be held at Space Coast Stadium on September 3. If you think you and your significant other have what it takes to be given a free wedding, then send the Manatees your love story.
Last year, the Brevard County Manatees along with 98.5 The Beach, helped Paul and Amber Lopez experience the wedding of their dreams.
Paul and Amber were scheduled to be married on November 7, 2009. But life took a turn for the worst in July 2009, when Paul was diagnosed with stage-two embryonal carcinoma, also known as testicular cancer.
Paul had surgery to have one of his testicles removed, and the couple thought they were in the clear. However, Paul's scans later showed that the cancer had spread to his lymphoid. Paul and Amber's only option was to cancel their dream wedding, and wed before Paul had to undergo months of chemotherapy.
Instead of walking down the aisle on November 7th, Amber laid by her husband's side as he recovered. Every day for three months, Amber would leave work as a Physical Education teacher to sit by Paul's side for his daily dose of chemotherapy.
Although Paul and Amber were already married, the Brevard County Manatees were more than happy to give them the wedding of their dreams. Paul and Amber's story was one that could not go unnoticed. Paul beat cancer through chemotherapy and is now in remission.
This is a very touching story, and now it is your turn! The time has come for the Manatees to find a new couple.
