A Tribute to Mandy
On November 17, 2021, Mandy and Ronnie stood with family and friends on the breathtaking grounds of the Barn at Willow Brook to renew their vows.
Amanda and Ronnie first met while working at the same company in 2004. They were both going through painful divorces and became a support to one another. They started dating a year later, instantly fell in love and were married in 2005.
In 2019, Mandy’s doctor noticed some concerning results on a routine blood panel. As a precaution, she underwent a series of liver tests, a biopsy and a colonoscopy. Sadly, the tests revealed a large mass in her colon that had likely been present for years. She was diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer that had spread to her liver. Sadly, Mandy lost her battle with cancer on February 5, 2022, less than three months after her gorgeous vow renewal.
We are so honored to have played a small role in Mandy and Ronnie’s story and send all of our love and hugs to their family and friends as they continue to grieve her loss.
A DC Love Story
On November 17, 2021, Amanda and Ronnie will join with family and friends to renew their vows after 16 years of marriage.
Amanda and Ronnie first met while working at the same company in 2004. A year later, the company ended up going out of business and Amanda and Ronnie decided to give dating a shot. Turns out, they were perfect for each other.
In 2018, Amanda was diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer that had spread to her liver. She has been undergoing a rigorous chemotherapy regiment in hopes of stopping the spread of her cancer, while allowing her body to get strong enough to withstand a surgery to remove the mass.
We have loved getting to know this sweet couple and cannot wait to grant their wish for a vow renewal. Amanda and Ronnie were married at the justice of the peace and are so excited to finally have a real wedding
A DC Wish - COVID Style
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.
Hurray! Our DC Wish Has Been Rescheduled!
Great news! We were finally able to rescheduled Keith and Laura’s wish for October 15, 2020.
