On January 29, 2023, Peggy and Ferdinand will stand before their closest friends and family to join their lives in marriage and to celebrate a 30-year journey to the altar.

Peggy and Ferdinand first met in high school at a graduation party. Although Peggy arrived at the party with a date, Ferdinand took notice and struck up a conversation with her. Little did they know that the conversation would begin an unexpected love story that would span 3 decades.

A year ago, Peggy and Ferdinand were sick with covid. While Peggy recovered, Ferdinand’s cough lingered and seemed to be worsening. After multiple trips to the ER and numerous scans, Ferdinand was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer that had spread to his lymph nodes and bones.

On January 31, 2022, Neil and Megha joined with family and friends at The Park Chateau in East Brunswick, NJ to renew their vows and to celebrate a love story nearly 20 years in the making.

In February of 2020, just before the pandemic hit, Neil started experiencing severe stomach and back pain. Initially he thought that it was acid reflux, but after his doctor ran several scans and tests, he was given devastating news. Neil was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

We connected with an incredible planner in Amanda Hudes of Smiling Through Chaos Event and Wedding Planning were blown away with the over-the-top gorgeous day that she created.

On December 14, 2021, Phil and Kathy gathered with their loved ones at The Mansion on Main Street to renew their vows and to celebrate their beautiful story.

Phil and Kathy first met in 2004. Their first date was on Mother’s Day at a restaurant called Miller’s Smorgaborg and lasted 12 hours! Needless-to-say, the two hit it off and immediately started dating. Within a short time, Kathy moved across town to be closer to Phil and the two were engaged by Christmas. They eloped in Vegas the following July 4.

In March of this year, Phil experienced a bowel blockage that sent him to the ER. It was then that he received devastating news. He had a large cancerous mass in his colon. Further testing revealed that the cancer had spread to his lungs and liver. He immediately began an aggressive treatment schedule and continues battle on, often dealing with many awful side effects.

On May 26th, 2021, Joe and Kristina gathered with their loved ones at the elegant Crystal Plaza, in Livingston, NJ, to renew their vows and to celebrate their beautiful marriage.

Joe and Kristina first met years ago at one of Joe’s gigs. Joe played in a band with Kristina’s cousin, and the two would run into each other at the shows. At the time, Joe was happily married to his wife of 20 years but lost her to a sudden illness in 2010. Four years later, Joe and Kristina reconnected online and hit it off immediately. They eloped in Las Vegas just one year later.

Two years into their marriage, Joe was sadly diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. He underwent an intense and very difficult chemotherapy program, which temporarily worked, but in 2020, the cancer spread to his brain. He underwent two brain surgeries and spent much of the spring at an in-patient rehab center. Thankfully, the facility agreed to release him for the day so that we could help them renew their vows.
