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.
