Stories that Uplift the Spirit

Southwest Riverside County wedding vendors are coming together to give a local wounded veteran the wedding of a lifetime. Cpl. Juan Dominguez is set to marry his fiancée, Alexis, in a luxurious wedding in Temecula Valley Wine Country later this month. The two have been engaged since February 2012 after meeting at a parade when Dominguez returned from U.S. Marine Corps combat service in Afghanistan. He lost both legs and his right arm in an explosion in 2010.
