On July 25th, 2021, Rachel and Jeff stood before their nearest and dearest to renew their vows to and profess their love for one another on the grounds of the breathtaking Estate at Cherokee Dock.

Rachel and Jeff first met while volunteering at an extracurricular activity in high school when they were just 16 years old. They hit it off immediately and dated for the next year and a half. After high school, they broke up and went their separate ways. Several years later, however, after living through the tragic events of 9/11 in New York City, Jeff decided to reach out to Rachel. The two picked up right where they had left off and have been together ever since. They were engaged in 2003 and were married a year later.

Two years into their marriage, Rachel began experiencing some perplexing health issues. She had come down with a virus that would not go away and was enduring extreme fatigue and heart issues. After several months, she decided to see an autonomic doctor at Vanderbilt. While it took nearly a year and a half to get a diagnosis, the news that she received was heartbreaking. She was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, an incredibly rare condition that breaks down the connective tissue in your body.

We were honored to help Rachel and Jeff with their vow renewal and were thrilled to work with our sweet friend Laurie D’Anne again. Despite the lingering challenges of the Covid pandemic, Laurie was able to secure a wonderful team to pull off this special wish.

On July 25th, 2021, Rachel and Jeff will join with family and friends to celebrate their love and to renew their vows after 17 years of marriage.

Cathy and Scott met online just over 15 years ago and embarked upon a whirlwind romance that has seen more than its fair share of hardship. After battling a variety of health issues for many years, Cathy began to experience some new and troubling symptoms in 2017. She underwent multiple tests and was sadly diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer that had spread to her bones. She’s currently receiving a variety of exhausting treatments, all while caring for two small boys. Just as he has been since day one, Scott continues to stand by Cathy and support her through all that life throws at them. Wish Upon a Wedding loved meeting this wonderful couple and was thrilled to help them renew their vows.
