On Dec 9, 2021, Sam and Jayce gathered with their loves ones at St.Josef’s winery in Canby, OR to renew their vows and to pay homage to a love story that has weathered its fair share of storms.

Sam and Jayce first met in high school but didn’t really know each other that well. It wasn’t until after graduation that they connected at a mutual friend’s wedding. Jayce reached out to Sam after the wedding and the two started hanging out, quickly became great friends and eventually soul mates.

In 2017, Sam found a lump on her breast. She didn’t think much of it but decided to have it checked out to be safe. Sadly, she was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ductile carcinoma. She underwent chemotherapy and a double mastectomy and was pronounced cancer free.

Two years later, Sam started experiencing some unexplained back pain, coupled with gall bladder issues. She scheduled a visit with her primary care doctor, who ordered an ultrasound.  The tests revealed the worst. Sam’s cancer had spread to her liver and her lungs. She had surgery to have her gall bladder removed, followed by radiation and more chemotherapy.

We were honored to have been able to grant Sam and Jayce’s wish for a vow renewal and were thrilled with the special day that our wish granters blessed them with.

On Dec 9, 2021, Sam and Jayce will stand before family and loved ones to renew their wedding vows.

Sam and Jayce technically first met in high school. They were aware of each other but had separate friends groups, so did not interact. It wasn’t until after they had graduated and were both standing in friend’s wedding that they connected.
Sam and Jayce were married in 2015 and went on to have a sweet little boy. When the couple’s son was just two years old, Sam found a lump on her breast. She didn’t think much of it but decided to have it checked out to be safe. Sadly, Sam was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ductile carcinoma. Two years later, Sam’s cancer had spread to her liver and her lungs.

We loved meeting this sweet couple and cannot wait to grant their special wish for a vow renewal.

On June 15, 2021, Pam and Josh gathered with their nearest and dearest on the grounds of the gorgeous Postlewait’s wedding and event venue to unite their lives in marriage.

We simply loved meeting this beautiful couple and were so honored to grant their wedding wish. From start to finish, the day was enveloped in love. Our gorgeous bride spent the morning getting ready, while our incredible wish crew, led by Natalie of Carpe Diem Wedding and Events, decorated the beautiful barn and outdoor ceremony site. From the breathtaking florals and linens to the over-the-top homemade BBQ, beautiful cake and sweet, personalized details, our couple was treated to a day filled with laughter and light.
