Every wedding is centered around marriage or at least, it’s supposed to be. Weddings can take months to plan. Venues and vendors are booked, details are carefully chosen, and couples dream about what their wedding day will look and feel like. Sometimes, at certain anniversary milestones, couples choose to renew their vows. Such a beautiful way to pause, reflect, and reaffirm the promises they made to one another.
Chris and Angie’s story was different.
This day wasn’t planned around tradition or a milestone anniversary. It came from something much more meaningful.
Chris has early-onset dementia. At one point, it was shared that Chris no longer remembered that he was married to her. Instead, he kept asking her to marry him. As heartbreaking as the reason behind it may be, there is something incredibly sweet about a love that continues to find its way back to the same person.
So, they decided to get married, again.
They dreamed, they planned, and they showed up to renew the vows they made more than 35 years ago. His mind may not always remember, but his heart remembers.
I think sometimes we forget what our vows truly mean. The words can become familiar, repeated, and almost routine. But the promises behind them are anything but ordinary.
Angie is a beautiful testament to those promises. To love in sickness and in health. To be patient, kind, understanding, and present. To care for the person you love in all the ways they need you to. Watching the way she loves and cares for Chris is truly something beautiful to witness.
And Chris, in his own way, continues to choose Angie.
After more than 35 years together, their love was celebrated all over again, Not because they needed new vows, but because the ones they made all those years ago still mean everything.
We were honored to host Chris and Angie’s vow renewal and witness such an incredible expression of love and commitment. Their story is a beautiful reminder that even when memories fade, love can remain.
Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.
