Kathy & TONy’s Music City Vow Renewal

Wish

Nov 12

On September 12, 2019, Kathy and Tony stood before friends and family at The Cordelle, in downtown Nashville, to renew their vows and to commemorate a love that has thrived for more than 40 years.

For this sweet couple, who met on the first day of college and married just a year later, the day marked yet another opportunity to choose joy – despite the pain they have experienced.

Kathy’s cancer journey first began in 2014, when she went in for a routine mammogram. Much to her surprise, the test revealed a cancerous high-grade tumor. She immediately underwent a double mastectomy, followed by chemotherapy. Once her treatment was complete, she was told that she was in remission. Over the next few years, she continued to experience a host of side effects, including some very troubling eye issues. In July of 2018, she received the news that no one wants to hear. Her cancer had metastasized and had advanced throughout her body. She is currently undergoing more treatment in hopes of slowing the progression of her cancer.

We loved this incredible couple from day one and were inspired by their beautiful love story, abundantly positive attitude and brutal transparency about the hard battle they’ve been fighting.

Once again, our friend Laurie D’Anne knocked it out of the park. From the gorgeous venue to the truly decadent meal, breathtaking flowers, rocking DJ and personal touches, Kathy, Tony and their guests enjoyed an evening filled with laughs, tears, hugs and yes – joy.
