Wedding season will be in full swing in just a few short months. When it comes to weddings, most engaged couples want to plan a wedding that perfectly reflects who they are and what they like. For some people, finding unique wedding venues is of utmost importance. From zoos to art museums, to libraries and factories, there are endless unique wedding venues to choose from. For some people, finding a unique wedding venue is important for sentimental reasons rather than simply for the sake of being unique. That was especially true for one bride who had a mini wedding reception at the nursing home her mom lives at.
The bride, Julia (Napolitano) Phillips is an only child who always had a close relationship with her parents. When she was in her 20’s, her mother, Linda, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that gradually destroys a person’s memory, social skills, intellectual skills, and other physical functions over time. As Linda’s disease progressed, she reached a point where she could no longer remain in her home with her husband because of the level of care she required on a daily basis. Knowing that Linda would not be able to attend the wedding ceremony or reception, Julia and her new husband Justin decided to bring a bit of the wedding to her!
