Once upon a time, two extraordinary people found each other—not in a castle or enchanted forest, but at a birthday party. Veronica hadn’t planned on attending Chris’s celebration, but thanks to a bit of sibling persuasion, fate stepped in. That night, she noticed his warm smile and how genuinely respectful he was. What started as a chance meeting quickly grew into something deeper, especially when they saw each other through the eyes of family…. Chris’ siblings.
Chris was taken by Veronica’s gentle strength and nurturing heart who loved his family Veronica saw a man who was full of surprises—thoughtful, kind, and full of love. It was clear from the beginning: they weren’t just falling in love, they were finding home in one another.
Like any true fairy tale, their journey hasn’t been without its dragons and dark woods. Life threw storms their way—challenges most would shy away from. But instead of turning back, they stepped forward. They chose to open their hearts and adopt children with special needs, even when life made it difficult to carry on.
In the midst of Veronica’s battle with kidney cancer, the call came: a baby needed them. She was still healing, barely able to hold her own child, yet the universe asked for more. So she prayed. And then, like something out of a dream, healing came. Strength returned. And love poured in. That baby joined their family, followed by two more beautiful little girls—all wrapped in the kind of love only a true hero and heroine could give.
Villains have interrupted their wedding plans before. Dishonest venues, illness, a global pandemic—every time they tried to plan the perfect celebration, something stood in the way. Las Vegas chapels and backyard vows became their reality. But finally, it’s time for the magic they’ve always deserved.
Chris and Veronica will renew their vows at the happiest place on Earth—they are having a Disney Wedding! Amazing vendors, like Ultimate Music Entertainment, are helping make this dream come true, donating their time and talent to honor this inspiring couple.
