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 November 28, 2020, Danette and Mike will join with family and friends to renew their vows after 14 years of marriage and to celebrate an unwavering love story in the face of tremendous storm.

In August of this last year, just as Mike and Danette were preparing to be grandparents, Mike discovered a lump on the side of his neck. He was referred to a specialist but as the months went on, the tumor grew and began to affect his swallowing. He was diagnosed with stage 2 squamous cell cancer of the throat. He underwent intense chemotherapy and radiation, which, although unbelievably difficult, initially shrunk his tumors.

Sadly, his cancer metastasized to his lungs. The last couple of months have been devastatingly hard and this beautiful couple is desperate for a joyful day filled with fun.

On February 2, 2022, Kari and Aaron will stand in front of family and friends to renew their vows and to celebrate a love that has persevered through years of sickness and trial.

Kari and Aaron first met on blind date in college. After meeting in August, they were married in December. They soon began to expand their family.

n 2015, Kari started to notice some changes in her breast. While they were slightly concerning, she didn’t think much of it. After some time, however, the 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.

We loved meeting Kari and Aaron and learning about their sweet story. Although they married young and admit that they hardly knew each other, their relationship has grown throughout the years, and they have seen each other through many dark days and come out the other side much stronger.
