On October 15, 2020, Laura and Keith gathered with a few friends and family to renew their vows on the gorgeous grounds of Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg, VA. From start to finish, the day was filled with sunshine, laughter, music and love.

Keith and Laura first met in 1990 when a mutual friend introduced them. They hit it off immediately and started dating. It wasn’t long before things became serious. They moved to Florida together and were married soon after. The couple spent the next twenty years expanding their family, growing their careers and seeking new adventures. In 2018, their lives took an unexpected turn. Keith had begun experiencing some troubling health concerns, including rapid weight loss and food regurgitation. He went to his doctor to get checked out and was sadly diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal cancer.

We are eternally grateful for all of the incredible wish granters who made this day possible. We know that it’s been very difficult year for everyone and are humbled by the generosity of our wish granters.

Keith and Laura first met 30 years ago when a mutual friend introduced them. Keith had previously been married and had three young children. They hit it off immediately and began dating. Before long, they fell in love, moved to Florida and decided to get married. Throughout their years in FL, they were blessed with 3 children of their own. After nearly 20 years in FL, the couple headed to Iowa for a new adventure. A roofer by trade, Keith spent his time in Iowa working for the Amish. After four years, they moved back to Destin in 2018. It was around this time that Keith started to experience some concerning health issues. In addition to rapid weight loss, he began to periodically regurgitate his food. He went to his doctor to get checked out and was sadly diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal cancer. He underwent chemotherapy and radiation and an incredibly invasive surgery to have his esophagus removed. This past September, Keith’s cancer returned and metastasized, forcing the couple to moved to Maryland to be closer to Keith’s family and to receive treatment at John Hopkins.

Due to the uncertainty of the Corona Virus, we don’t know yet when we’ll be able to grant Keith and Laura’s wish for a vow renewal. Our outstanding team of wish granters are standing by and are excited to celebrate with our sweet couple as soon as it’s safe to do so.
