A Dayton Love Story

On February 20, 2022, Demeshia (Demi) and Tim will stand before their family and friends to renew their vows and to celebrate a love that has triumphed over sickness and heartache.

Demi and Tim first met about 11 years ago through mutual friends. They hit it off immediately and dove head first into a relationship that is still going strong today. The two dated for about five years before saying “I do” in a very small ceremony at the local courthouse.

Demi’s health issues began when she was just 19 years old. A mysterious dark circle appeared on her arm and while her doctor initially didn’t think it was anything to be concerned about, later testing revealed that it was systemic scleroderma. Overtime, Demi’s scleroderma has advanced considerably and has resulted in the amputation of five fingers and one toe, as well as hypertension and blood pressure issues.

We have loved getting to know this beautiful couple and have been touched by the many ways they have loved and cared for each other throughout their years together. We’re honored to grant their wish for a vow renewal and cannot wait to see what our team has in store.
