A New Jersey Wish
On January 31, 2022, Neil and Megha joined with family and friends at The Park Chateau in East Brunswick, NJ to renew their vows and to celebrate a love story nearly 20 years in the making.
Neil and Megha first met in 2003. Megha had recently gone through a tough breakup and was out with some childhood friends. As fate would have it, she ran into an old acquaintance who introduced her to Neil. The two hit it off and quickly started dating. They were married within a few years and soon welcomed twins. They spent the next two decades developing their careers and loving life with their family.
In February of 2020, Neil started experiencing severe stomach and back pain. Initially he thought that it was acid reflux, but after his doctor ran several scans and tests, he was given devastating news. He was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
He immediately began an aggressive chemotherapy regiment to try to battle his cancer and has suffered incredibly difficult side effects because of his treatment. He continues to fight hard for his beautiful family and to maintain a positive and hopeful outlook in the face of enormous uncertainty.
We loved meeting this sweet couple and were honored to help them renew their vows. We connected with an incredible planner in Amanda Hudes of Smiling Through Chaos Events and Wedding Planning were blown away with the over-the-top gorgeous day that she created.
From the dramatic flowers to the stunning venue, decadent gourmet menu and remarkable entertainers, our couple was treated to an unforgettable day. Megha shined in her beautiful gown and their sweet kids were able to witness their parents share a truly magical day together.
We could never do what we do without the support of our amazing wish granters. All of the love for this generous crew:
