Let your commitment become part of something extraordinary.
The Wedding Co. is building a chandelier from thousands of origami cranes which have come from engaged couples around the world.
Current Count: 8360, we have 4 months to go, please help!
The goal is to collect 10,000 of these peaceful tokens of love by January 2011 when The Wedding Co. will celebrate its 10th anniversary. The final creation will be a visual representation of a worldwide community of engaged and newly married couples – a community that already shares so many invisible ties. Each crane will represent one couple’s leap of love, commitment and patience.
For each crane we receive, we will donate ¢50 to The Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation.
Want to participate? Request One or make your own (see video below)!
To fold an origami crane takes time, commitment and patience and we encourage every person planning their wedding to take a moment to make an origami crane and experience a few minutes of quiet during a busy time. Lean how to make a crane, just follow the video below.
