On November 7, 2021, Hillary and Tommy stood before their loved ones to commit their lives in marriage LM Studio in Chicago, IL.

Hillary and Tommy first met online in 2016. They went to a concert together and spent the rest of the evening walking around the city. They soon fell in love and got engaged. While the couple had originally planned to get married in Hillary’s hometown of Columbus, OH, in 2020, they ended up having to cancel due to Covid.

It was around this time that Hillary was awoken in the night with a significant pain on her right side. After consulting with a friend who is a physician, she decided to get it checked out. She was given a CT scan at the urgent care that revealed a cyst on her liver. While it was concerning, they were reassured that it was likely nothing to worry about and were referred to a GI doctor. Unfortunately, an MIR revealed that Hillary is suffering from an extremely rare and intensely aggressive form of cancer that has moved into her adrenal gland.

We were touched by this moving story and were eager to grant a wedding wish for this wonderful couple. We loved working with the incredible planning team at Urban Allure Events, led by Kelley and Conley and were blown away by the beautiful day they created.

On November 7, 2021, Hillary and Tommy will gather before family and friends to commit their lives to each other in marriage and to celebrate a love that has already endured more than many face in a lifetime.

Hillary and time met, as they like to say, “the old fashioned way”, online in 2016. Their first couple dates were spent at a concert and then walking the streets of Chicago getting to know each other. They soon fell in love and were engaged in 2018 while on a snorkeling trip to the Virgin Islands. While the couple had originally planned to get married in Hillary’s hometown of Columbus, OH, in 2020, COVID and cancer had other plans.

We fell in love with Hillary and Tommy and their heartbreakingly beautiful story and simply cannot wait to make this wish come true for them. We brought on a wonderful planning team in Kelley and Conley at Urban Allure Events and have been so impressed by team they have assembled on such short notice.
