Most people take months to plan a stylish wedding—but Eleanor and James Gilliam have less than a week to pull one off!
For their challenge, the Gilliams decide to help Kirstie and Nathan— a couple who doesn't have money for a fancy wedding.
They buy Kirstie a bridal gown and rent a tux for Nathan. They find people to donate rings, a limousine and an outdoor location for the ceremony, and they buy the cake and book a honeymoon suite. The couple is overwhelmed with joy at the wedding surrounded by loving friends and family who want to support them in their new life.
The Gilliams may have a future in wedding planning—all that and they still have money left over to give away! With the extra money, they give a single mother a $500 gift card to buy Christmas presents for her children and donate to a scholarship for a student spring break camp.
"Nothing can compare to seeing other people filled with joy because of something you've done for them." Eleanor says.
