On February 2, 2022, Kari and Aaron gathered with their loved ones at The Springs Weddings and Events to renew their vows and to celebrate their beautiful love story.

Kari and Aaron first met on blind date in college. They spent the evening talking, listening to music and dancing. That night, Kari told her mom that she had met the man she would marry.

In 2015, Kari started to notice some changes in her breast. After some time, her breast became engorged, and she went in to get it checked out. Sadly, her mammogram revealed the worst. Kari was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. She underwent an intense chemotherapy regiment, followed by a double mastectomy and the removal of her ovaries and her gallbladder.

Unfortunately, Kari’s cancer continued to progress, and her cancer moved into her bones. She has had numerous surgeries to repair the many bones that have broken in her body because of her cancer and deals with pain and exhaustion daily.

On November 27, 2022, Krystal and Andy will stand before their children, family and friends to renew their vows after 18 years of marriage.

In June of this year, Krystal noticed a puffy area under her armpit. Her doctor told her it wasn’t concerning but decided to ordered a mammogram and ultrasound. The scans revealed that she had cancer in her breast. She was feeling positive and hopeful, but further scans showed the cancer in her spine, femur, and ribs. She immediately started treatment and is fighting hard for her beautiful family.

On October 19, 2022, Rucha and Jose will gather with loved ones to renew their vows after 10 years of marriage. In addition to being a special day for our beautiful couple, it’s a very special milestone day for our organization as well and its marks our 200th wish!

On August 24, 2022, Ruth and Jason will gather with friends and family to renew their vows and to pay tribute to a love story that has persevered through sickness and trial.

In 2017, Ruth discovered a lump in her breast while nursing her son. She had it checked out by her doctor and underwent a mammogram and ultrasound. Surprisingly, she was diagnosed with stage 2 B breast cancer. She was only 38 at the time. Ruth underwent a single mastectomy and was able to go into remission.

Two years later, however, Ruth’s cancer metastasized and is now in her lungs, brain, bones, and left breast. She’s undergone extensive chemotherapy and radiation and is fighting with all that she has for her sweet little family.

On February 17, 2022, Sara and Felix will join with their family and friends to renew their vows after 15 years of marriage.

Sara and Felix have an unbelievably beautiful love story. They met 21 years ago in a Yahoo chat room – she was a 15-year-old high school student living in Rural Kansas, he – a 20-year-old in south central LA. After getting to know each other for about a year, Sara convinced her mom to take her to LA to meet Felix. It was love at first sight.

After graduation, Sara moved to Los Angeles to attend college at USC. They remained together throughout college and were married the day after graduation.

In January of 2019, Sara was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer that had spread to her liver and her abdomen. She has endured countless surgeries and treatments and is fighting hard for her family.

We love this fun, energetic couple and are honored to grant their wish for a vow renewal.

Sheila and Stevans first started dating in high school. They fell for each other immediately and ended up dating for the rest of high school and all throughout college. Once Sheila moved back to Miami, they moved in together and started their careers.

In 2018, Sheila was working as a paralegal for a law firm. She was working a lot of long, stressful hours and started getting sick frequently. Although many of her symptoms could be easily explained away as a bad cold, she was missing a lot of work and lost hearing in of one of her ears. Months of tests and specialist visits finally revealed a devastating diagnosis. An MRI revealed a rare cancerous tumor at the base of her skull. She endured 2 complicated surgeries to have the tumor removed, followed by chemotherapy, radiation and months of therapy.

We’ve loved this couple since the minute we met them and cannot wait to grant their wish for a wedding.
