On December 4, 2022, Erica and Anton will gather with their loved ones to exchange vows at The Penthouse Hyde Park in Chicago, IL.

Erica and Anton first met and became friends in high school. Although most people thought that they were dating, their relationship was just a deep friendship. When it came time to go to college, they were accepted at different schools. They went their separate ways and lost touch for many years.

They reconnected in 2015 online and hit it off immediately. They picked up right where they left off and have been together ever since. This past year, Anton unfortunately started having some concerning health issues. He went to the doctor and was sadly diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his lymph nodes. His doctor is in the process of formulating a treatment plan, which will begin soon after their wish.

On September 28, 2022, Elisa and Jesus will join with family and friends to renew their vows after 22 beautiful years of marriage.

Elisa and Jesus’s love story began in a very surprising manner. The two were both working at Luby’s restaurant in 1999 but did not know each other and did not interact often. After voting for Elisa in a best costume Halloween contest, Jesus got up the courage to talk to Elisa and asked her to marry him.

The couple spent the next 16 years falling deeply in love, raising kids and building a beautiful life together. In 2016, however, things took a turn with Jesus’ health when he was diagnosed with kidney disease and then cancer.

We have loved meeting this kind and joyful couple and are honored to help them renew their vows.
