A Chicago Wish

On March 11, 2022, Lissette and Carlos stood before loved ones to renew their vows after ten years of marriage.

Carlos and Lissette first met when they were just 12 years old in elementary school. They used to pass notes back and forth to each other but never really talked. They ended up getting to know each other in 8th grade but didn’t start dating until their junior year. After high school, Carlos went away for college, but the two stayed together and were married at a courthouse right out of college.

We loved meeting this adorable family and were honored to grant their wish for a vow renewal.

We’ve teamed up with our Kirsten and Olivia at Olive Fine Weddings and Events and were blown away by the gorgeous day that they planned.

A Chicago Love Story

On March 11, 2022, Lissette and Carlos will gather with family and friends to renew their vows after nearly ten years of marriage.

Carlos and Lissette first met when they were just 12 years old in elementary school. They ended up getting to know each other in 8th grade but didn’t start dating until their junior year. After high school, Carlos went away for college, but the two stayed together and were married at a courthouse right out of college.

A few into their marriage, Lissette started experiencing some pain in her jaw. Over time though, Lissette’s pain grew so acute that it started affecting every part of her life. Finally, at the behest of Carlos, she went to see a jaw specialist. Lissette was diagnosed with a rare form of sarcoma. She underwent an incredibly complicated 16-hour surgery to have the tumor removed and her jawbone rebuilt.

Lissette and Carlos are excited to renew their vows and to finally have the wedding they have always dreamed about. We’ve teamed up with our dear friends Kirsten and Olivia at Olive Fine Weddings and Events and are thrilled with amazing group of wish granters that they have brought on board.

A Tribute to Ron

On January 9, 2022, Jennifer and Ron gathered with family and friends at the iconic Grand Traverse Resort and Spa to renew their vows after 40 years of marriage.

Jennifer and Ron met at a Memorial Day party when they were just 17 years old. They hit it off immediately and started dating. The next year was a blur as they graduated high school, got married and welcomed their first baby.

Jennifer and Ron spent the next four decade raising a family and enjoying their life in northern Michigan. This past year, however, Ron started to experience some unexplained health issues. He was waking up with swelling in his chest and decided to go it checked out. Ron was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. He immediately began an aggressive chemotherapy and radiation treatment program to try to shrink his tumor and prevent his cancer from spreading.

Sadly, Ron’s lost his battle this Monday, just 2 weeks after his and Jennifer’s touching vow renewal wish.

It was honor to have gotten to know Ron and to see the visible love that he had for his precious Jennifer. We will be forever grateful to Alicia Fritz and the entire A Day in May team for their tireless work in creating these lasting memoires for our sweet couple.
