A Buffalo Love Story
On April 24, 2020, Ashley and Kyle will stand before their family and friends to renew the vows that they first spoke to each other seven years ago.
Ashley and Kyle first met at church in 2013. She had just moved home to Florida after living in Savannah, GA and he asked her out to lunch the first day that she was back at church. She accepted and a simple lunch turned into forever. They were married in 2015 and embarked upon a series of moves with Kyle’s job with the Coast Guard.
She had this lump checked out before but was always told that it was nothing to worry about it. However, a mammogram revealed something different and quite concerning. She was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer than head spread to her lymph nodes.
We simply adore this kind, beautiful couple and thrilled to help them celebrate their love story. We found a wonderful new friend in MaryKate of Lovely Lemon Events and are tickled with the wonderful team that she has assembled.
A Long Island City Wish
On March 21, 2022, Eunice and Ricardo will stand before loved ones to renew their vows and to celebrate a love that has persevered in the face of sickness and loss.
Eunice and Ricardo met on a dating website before dating websites were a thing. At the time, Eunice, who was only 17 and living in Chicago, began chatting with a young man named Ricardo, who was 22 and living in New York City. They were friends for 8 years before dating and falling in love.
In 2017, Ricardo began having some issues with his stomach. While many of his symptoms could be easily explained away, his condition continued to progress. Eventually, he sought the advice of a doctor. A test revealed that he had a blockage in his bowels. They were able to put a stint in, but an MRI showed a tumor in his pancreas. Sadly, he was given the devasting diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
Despite the overwhelming pain and suffering that Eunice and Ricardo have experienced in the last four years, their love remains as strong as ever. We fell for this beautiful couple and are honored to help them renew their vows.
A New York Love Story
On September 21, 2021, Nina and Martin will stand before their family and friends to unite their lives in marriage.
Nina and Martin first met on a dating app three years ago. They took their time in getting to know one another and found themselves opening up about the personal details of their lives.
As a young child, Nina was plagued with health issues. After consulting multiple doctors, she was finally diagnosed with Lupus at age 13. She started seeing a specialist and while it was a long and often difficult road, she was able to learn to control her disease and was feeling hopeful for a healthy future. In May of 2010, however, she had a significant lupus flare up and had to be hospitalized for a short time. It was at home, while she was recovering from her recent bout, that her life changed forever. She had awoken the morning of May 6, 2010 with a significant headache. She was going about her day, trying to work when she suffered a massive stroke and collapsed in the bathroom.
We were very touched by Nina and Martin’s story and are thrilled to be able to grant their wish for a wedding. We teamed up with Melissa of Events by Missy and Company and are SO grateful for the incredible team that she has assembled. We can’t wait to see it all unfold.
