On April 13, 2023, Teresa and Emil will gather with friends and family to renew their vows and celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.

In 2020, Teresa went in to have her first colonoscopy. She had been working as a special ed teacher and was experiencing some unexpected weight gain. Sadly, her doctor discovered a very large tumor inside her colon. She was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer that had metastasized to her liver. She underwent a very difficult treatment plan that included multiple surgeries and incredibly aggressive chemotherapy. Teresa is currently a part of a clinical trial and is doing her best to find joy and hope in each day.

On February 17, 2022, Sara and Felix gathered with loved ones to renew their vows on a beautiful, sun-soaked, southern California day.

In December of 2018, Sara started experiencing some concerning stomach issues. After multiple trips to the doctors and numerous tests, she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer that had spread to her liver and her abdomen.

Sara has endured more in the past few years than any young, vibrant person should. Despite painful surgeries, difficult treatments and brutal side effects, Sara has not lost her spark for life and her love for Felix has only deepened.

We were honored to grant this wish for Sara and Felix and were humbled by the outpouring of love from our incredible team.

On November 3, 2022, Jonathan and Angie will stand before family and friends to renew their vows and to celebrate a love story that has seen its fair share of ups and downs.

Jonathan and Angie first met in 2014 at a family reunion. They were connected through Jonathan’s sister-in-law and began chatting online. Sparks flew!

They were married a year later and moved to Colorado to start their new life. In 2021, Jonathan started having pains in his stomach, which he assumed were a result of his physically demanding job. Sadly, his doctor discovered a large cancerous tumor in his colon. He was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and began an aggressive chemotherapy regiment. This past April, his cancer spread to his liver. Sadly, Jonathan’s body has not been able to handle his chemotherapy and he has been put on palliative care while trying to soak up precious time with his wife and kids.
