On April 28, 2022, Stacey and Brian will stand before family and friends to renew their vows after 22 years of marriage.

Stacey and Brian first met in 1999. Stacey had recently gotten out of a relationship and was feeling pretty down. Her brother had invited her to come hang out with some of his friends and, despite her mood, she decided to join. As fate would have it, Brian was there that night. After that night, Stacey and Brian were inseparable. They fell in love quickly and were married 10 months later.

In 2020 when Stacey started experiencing some significant digestive issues, coupled with crippling nausea. She underwent a colonoscopy, which revealed a neuroendocrine tumor in her intestines. Despite her doctor told it was nothing to worry about, Stacey was concerned. She was finally seen by a doctor at the Cleveland Clinic who sadly found cancer in her rectum, ovaries and lungs.

Stacey has endured a series of very difficult surgeries and treatments related to her cancer and struggles daily with pain, fatigue, and normal bodily functions. Through it all though, her spirits are hopeful, and her joy is contagious. We’re thrilled to have met these cuties and cannot wait to grant their wish for a very special vow renewal.

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.

Demi and Tim first met about 11 years ago through mutual friends. They hit it off immediately and dove head first into a relationship that is still going strong today. The two dated for about five years before saying “I do” in a very small ceremony at the local courthouse.

Demi’s health issues began when she was just 19 years old. A mysterious dark circle appeared on her arm and while her doctor initially didn’t think it was anything to be concerned about, later testing revealed that it was systemic scleroderma.
