Other than designing beautiful stationery, a huge passion in Kim and Briana's lives is the non-profit organization they helped to create, called The Gifted Wedding. The Gifted Wedding is dedicated to providing deserving couples that face a unique circumstance or hardship with the wedding of their dreams.

The Gifted Wedding was inspired and founded in honor of Anna Jimenez. Anna and Manuel Jimenez were married in a simple courthouse ceremony over 15 years ago. They had three beautiful children; Kristina is 13, Gianna is 8 and Joseph is 6. Anna was a vivacious, hard-working mom until she noticed a twitching in her arm that would soon change the lives of her and her family. In January of 2008, Anna was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or what is more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

While reflecting on her life, Anna mentioned that she regretted not having a traditional wedding when she married Manuel. Her friends decided to help plan the wedding of her dreams so that Anna and Manuel can renew their vows with their children, family, and friends present. The founders of The Gifted Wedding received in kind donations from many wedding vendors throughout the community and, thus, were able to provide the Jimenez family with the priceless experience of a beautiful wedding. During the process, their mission was born.
