A SoCal love story
On December 7, 2022, Christine and Ashon will join with loved ones to renew their vows and celebrate their love with their children.
Christine was first diagnosed with cancer right after graduating from college. She had been in a serious car accident and started to feel a lump in her chest shortly after. She went to doctor and while she initially told that the lump was likely an infection, a biopsy revealed something worse. She was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive ductile carcinoma. She underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. In 2017, her cancer returned and metastasized to her spine and bones and she is actively in treatment.
Christine’s current treatment has taken quite a toll on her body and she continually deals with pain, infections and extreme fatigue. We’ve loved getting to know this beautiful couple and are so touched by their story. We joined forces with the incomparable Elizabeth Brandon of WINK! Weddings and are blown away by the remarkable team of wish granters that she has assembled for this wish.
A Long Beach Wedding Wish
Gilbert and Kiletta first met online in 2015. She had been communicating with several different people but kept getting e-mails from the same guy – Gilbert. Initially she was ignoring them because she didn’t think he was the right fit for her. Eventually though, Gilbert’s humor won her over and they talked on the phone for three hours. After that, they met for coffee and have been together ever since.
After dating for about three years, Gilbert and Kiletta began planning their future together and decided to get married. The wedding plans were immediately put on hold when Gilbert developed a terrible stomach ache. He went to the doctor, had a colonoscopy and a body scan and was sadly diagnosed with stage four colon cancer that had spread to his liver. Gilbert immediately underwent an aggressive chemotherapy treatment plan and is doing his best to remain hopeful with the results.
