A Buffalo Wish
On April 24, 2020, Ashley and Kyle gathered with family and friends to renew the vows on the beautiful property of Notting Hill Farm.
Ashley and Kyle first met at church in 2013. She had just moved home to Florida 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, eventually with two babies in tow.
When their youngest was just ten months old, Ashley decided to get a lump in her breast checked out. 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 that had spread to her lymph nodes.
A San Luis Obispo Wish
On December 19, 2021, Karen and Dan gathered with loved ones to renew their vows on the breathtaking grounds of Chateau Noland in San Luis Obispo, CA.
Karen and Dan first met online in 2013. They connected and began chatting. When they finally decided to meet in person, they hit it off and began dating.
The couple married in 2017 and wanted to start a family. Unfortunately, due to two bouts of childhood leukemia, Karen was unable to conceive without the help of IVF. It was while they were going through the process that she noticed a lump in her breast. While her doctor initially didn’t think much of it, a mammogram and ultrasound revealed the worst. She was diagnosed with cancer – again.
We were moved by this beautiful love story and thrilled to grant Karen and Dan’s wish for a vow renewal.
A New Jersey Vow Renewal Wish
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.
