On June 15, 2021, Pam and Josh will stand before their family and friends to pledge their lives to one another in marriage and celebrate a love that has already conquered so much.

Pam and Josh first met through friends in 2017. The two had recently ended relationships and began chatting and getting to get to know each other long distance (Pam was in Oregon, Josh was in Washington). As things progressed, they fell for each other and began dating. As Pam and Josh’s connection deepened, they found healing in their beautiful relationship. Josh had been medically discharged from the Navy and was struggling with PTSD, while Pam was reeling from the pain of a past abusive relationship. As they continued to care for one another, they soon fell in love. After a year and a half, they moved to be near one another and started a new life together.

In 2019, Pam started having some unexplained extreme fatigue that was interfering greatly with her job. After consulting with her doctor, she was misdiagnosed with narcolepsy. Soon after she discovered a lump in her breast. While her doctor initially thought it was just breast sensitivity, an ultrasound later revealed a massive tumor. Pam immediately underwent an emergency biopsy and sadly received a heartbreaking diagnosis, triple negative invasive ductile carcinoma. She started an aggressive chemotherapy regiment, followed by a double mastectomy and radiation. Unfortunately, Pam’s cancer has continued to spread. She learned this past October that it is now in her lungs and she was hospitalized recently when a tumor appeared in her brain. Thankfully, she was able to have the tumor removed and is feeling a little bit better.

We’re thrilled to have met Pam and Josh and are looking forward to making their dream of a wedding come true. We’ve brought on an amazing planner in Natalie of Carpe Diem Events and are blown away by the incredible team of wish granters she has recruited. It’s going to be a wonderful day for Pam and Josh to celebrate with family and friends and we can’t wait to see it unfold.
