On December 7, 2022, Christine and Ashon will join with loved ones to renew their vows and celebrate their love with their children.

Christine was first diagnosed with cancer right after graduating from college. She had been in a serious car accident and started to feel a lump in her chest shortly after. She went to doctor and while she initially told that the lump was likely an infection, a biopsy revealed something worse. She was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive ductile carcinoma. She underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation. In 2017, her cancer returned and metastasized to her spine and bones and she is actively in treatment.

Christine’s current treatment has taken quite a toll on her body and she continually deals with pain, infections and extreme fatigue. We’ve loved getting to know this beautiful couple and are so touched by their story. We joined forces with the incomparable Elizabeth Brandon of WINK! Weddings and are blown away by the remarkable team of wish granters that she has assembled for this wish.

They reconnected in 2015 online and hit it off immediately. They picked up right where they left off and have been together ever since. This past year, Anton unfortunately started having some concerning health issues. He went to the doctor and was sadly diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his lymph nodes. His doctor is in the process of formulating a treatment plan, which will begin soon after their wish.
