On February 17, 2022, Sara and Felix gathered with loved ones to renew their vows on a beautiful, sun-soaked, southern California day.

In December of 2018, Sara started experiencing some concerning stomach issues. After multiple trips to the doctors and numerous tests, she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer that had spread to her liver and her abdomen.

Sara has endured more in the past few years than any young, vibrant person should. Despite painful surgeries, difficult treatments and brutal side effects, Sara has not lost her spark for life and her love for Felix has only deepened.

We were honored to grant this wish for Sara and Felix and were humbled by the outpouring of love from our incredible team.

On November 10, 2022, Anastasia and Barbara gathered at Seventh Place in downtown Los Angeles to renew their vows in front of dear friends and family.

In June of 2020, Anastasia began having some concerning issues with her breast. She underwent a series of tests and was sadly diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer. She underwent a mastectomy and was hopeful for a full recovery. A few months later, however, she started experiencing pain in her hip. After numerous scans and tests, she was told that her cancer had metastasized to her bones and liver. She is actively receiving treatment and is trying to remain hopeful, despite the very difficult side effects that she is experiencing.

We loved meeting these beautiful women and were honored to help them renew their vows.

On February 2, 2022, Kari and Aaron gathered with their loved ones at The Springs Weddings and Events to renew their vows and to celebrate their beautiful love story.

Kari and Aaron first met on blind date in college. They spent the evening talking, listening to music and dancing. That night, Kari told her mom that she had met the man she would marry.

In 2015, Kari started to notice some changes in her breast. After some time, her breast became engorged, and she went in to get it checked out. Sadly, her mammogram revealed the worst. Kari was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. She underwent an intense chemotherapy regiment, followed by a double mastectomy and the removal of her ovaries and her gallbladder.

Unfortunately, Kari’s cancer continued to progress, and her cancer moved into her bones. She has had numerous surgeries to repair the many bones that have broken in her body because of her cancer and deals with pain and exhaustion daily.

On February 27, 2022, Naomi and Matthew gather with loved ones on a gorgeous sunny day at Bethel Rock in Leonard, TX to renew their vows and to celebrate 25 years of marriage.

In December of 2020, however, their lives completely changed. Naomi had been experiencing some troubling digestive issues. She spent the next few months having multiple tests run to determine the cause of her issues. She was diagnosed with stage 4 gastric cancer that had spread to her stomach, lymph nodes and liver. She underwent intense treatment to try to slow the spread of her cancer and fought for two long years. Sadly, Naomi lost her battle with cancer this past week.

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 March 21, 2022, Eunice and Ricardo gathered with their family and friends to renew their vows at the The Foundry in Brooklyn, NY. Sadly, this week, just five months later, Ricardo lost his battle with pancreatic cancer.

We were incredibly moved by Eunice and Ricardo’s story and were honored to help them renew their vows. We found a wonderful planner in Christine Viola and were overwhelmed with the gorgeous day that she created. From the breathtaking setting of our venue to the beautiful garden flowers, stunning décor and delicious meal, Eunice and Ricardo were treated to a magical day, surrounded by love. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room as our sweet couple recited vows to one another and were toasted by the family and friends who have supported them on their journey. Eunice and Ricardo soaked in the sunshine, danced with their son, and basked in the overwhelming love story they have written.

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.

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.

On Dec 9, 2021, Sam and Jayce gathered with their loves ones at St.Josef’s winery in Canby, OR to renew their vows and to pay homage to a love story that has weathered its fair share of storms.

Sam and Jayce first met in high school but didn’t really know each other that well. It wasn’t until after graduation that they connected at a mutual friend’s wedding. Jayce reached out to Sam after the wedding and the two started hanging out, quickly became great friends and eventually soul mates.

In 2017, Sam found a lump on her breast. She didn’t think much of it but decided to have it checked out to be safe. Sadly, she was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ductile carcinoma. She underwent chemotherapy and a double mastectomy and was pronounced cancer free.

Two years later, Sam started experiencing some unexplained back pain, coupled with gall bladder issues. She scheduled a visit with her primary care doctor, who ordered an ultrasound.  The tests revealed the worst. Sam’s cancer had spread to her liver and her lungs. She had surgery to have her gall bladder removed, followed by radiation and more chemotherapy.

We were honored to have been able to grant Sam and Jayce’s wish for a vow renewal and were thrilled with the special day that our wish granters blessed them with.
