Amy and Russells’ North Carolina Love Story

On November 9, 2021, Amy and Russell will gather before family and friends to renew their vows after 17 years of marriage. For this sweet couple, the road back to the alter has been paved with its fair share of ups and downs.

Amy and Russell first met when she was just 17 years old – and they weren’t exactly very fond of each other. Tragically, Russell’s wife died of breast cancer when she was just 37 years old, leaving him to raise his large family alone. Graciously, Amy decided to help Russell with the kids and the two started spending more time together. As fate would have it, the couple fell in love and got married.

In 2015, not long after their 13th wedding anniversary, Amy found a lump in her breast. She went in for a mammogram and was sadly diagnosed with stage 2 B breast cancer. After feeling fairly healthy for the next two years, Amy began to experience some concerning pain in her chest and arm. 2020 had been a difficult year for her with the death of her mom the onset of COVID and she decided to it would be wise to get checked out. The tests revealed the worst. Her cancer had returned and had moved into her bones

We fell for this couple from the minute we met them and can’t wait to help them renew their vows.
