Ryan's Wish... to Give Mom Dream Wedding

Make A Wish Foundation of Kansas

We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions
to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

From the Topeka Capital-Journal:

When soon-to-be Topeka bride Wendy Nettleingham discovered her teenage son had cancer, she did what most mothers likely would do — she put her wedding plans on hold.

Her son repaid her kindness ten-fold.

Ryan Peskuski didn’t ask the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Kansas for a trip or a material object for himself.

Instead, he asked them to help grant his mother’s wish for the wedding of a lifetime planned by David Tutera, wedding planning extraordinaire and star of WE TV’s series “My Fair Wedding.”

Wendy and Rocky Nichols’ Topeka wedding was featured on the Sunday, Nov. 13 Season Premier of “My Fair Wedding” on WETV.

A special thanks to Becky Miller and Eric Miller who tirelessly worked for several months on Ryan’s wish. This wish could not have taken place without their devotion to our mission.
