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.

On February 27, 2022, Naomi and Matthew will gather with family and friends to renew their vows after 25 years of marriage.

Naomi and Matthew’s love story began in the most unexpected way. At the time, Matthew was working at a retail store in the local mall when Naomi popped in to look around. He was immediately taken with her and, in an attempt to get her phone number, convinced her to fill out an application to work at the store. Days later, he was called for jury duty and his coworker ended up hiring Naomi. When Matthew returned to work, he was stunned to find Naomi working with him. There were sparks from day 1. Naomi and Matthew flirted throughout their shift, went on a date the next day and were married 6 months later.

In December of 2020, Naomi was diagnosed with metastatic gastric cancer that had spread to her stomach, lymph nodes and liver.

We fell for this lovely couple the minute we met them and are honored to help them renew their vows on this very special anniversary. We brought on board an old friend of our organization and have been so touched by the hard work that she has put into this event.

On September 17, 2020, Hillary and Mike gathered with family friends on a gorgeous, sun-soaked Austin day to renew their vows at the beautiful Mercury Hall. From start to finish, the day was punctuated with love, light and laughter.

As always, our wishes would not be possible without the generosity of so many wonderful people. We cannot thank our team of wish granters enough – especially during these challenging times – for their creativity, hard work and beautiful hearts. It was most certainly a day to remember.
