An Indy Love Story

Vanessa and Chris first met by sheer happenstance. Vanessa’s friend had decided to go meet up with a guy that she had met online and Vanessa decided to tag along for safety and support. Turns out, the man in question had a roommate named Chris, who Vanessa ended up chatting with all night long. The two hit it off immediately and were married a year later.

In the fall of 2018, Vanessa began to experience some confusing health problems. She was working as a medical assistant at the time and suddenly began struggling with things like balance, tripping, slurring of speech and loss of dexterity in her fingers. Despite numerous appointments with no good answers, Vanessa was certain that something was very wrong. The answer finally came in June and was more devastating than she or Chris could have ever imagined. Vanessa had been diagnosed with ALS.

Wish Upon a Wedding was deeply moved by this beautiful love story and cannot wait to grant Vanessa and Chris’s wish for a vow renewal.
