Saying ‘I do' again: Couple celebrates 10 years married with Wish Upon a Wedding
Sep 25, 2024
A Montgomery County couple got to renew their vows as they celebrated a milestone with Wish Upon a Wedding—10 years of marriage.
Rachel and Brad Herring say those years have shown them what’s really important in life.
That’s in part due to Rachel being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer after she had their second child.
“I think it means a lot to be here with the family we created,” Rachel said.
The couple married ten years ago and grew their family with 6-year-old Lea and 3-year-old Noah.
But after Noah was born, Rachel realized something was wrong.
“They sent me to the ER, so I actually found out in the ER that I had stage 4 breast cancer,” Rachel said. “It just spread to the liver—that fast.”
It was after this that Rachel saw Wish Upon a Wedding looking for couples who wanted to renew their vows.
“They are nonprofit, and they put together these events, wedding and vow renewals, for couples who have a terminal illness or a severe health issue,” Rachel said.
They had a small wedding this time around for those who may not have been there the first time.
“When I said forever and always 10 years ago, well maybe closer to 15, I meant it. I meant every word of everything I’ve ever promised you,” Brad said as part of his vows.
