I will never forget March 28, 2017, when the doctor told us that my fiancé, Troy, had Stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity. Oh, and by the way, it was a rare type of cancer with a 35% survival rate. We were devastated, especially because Troy just proposed to me on January 1, 2017! Instead of throwing an engagement party, we were going to start going through many rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries.
Troy’s hospital was one and a half hours away, one way…so imagine having to drive up and down the highway every day. Exhausted and worried does not even begin to explain what I was feeling, so I cannot even begin to imagine how Troy felt. I never thought at the age of 31, I was going to have to be a caregiver! Not only a caregiver, but I was the sole breadwinner, housekeeper, and cook.
While helping Troy go through his treatments, I was also planning our wedding. Troy did NOT want to cancel the wedding, as the vision of seeing me walk down the aisle gave him the hope and motivation to overcome and beat cancer.
This was no small feat and took a lot of determination and heart. Planning an event with someone who may not survive to that date can be nerve-wracking and scary, but I did it! In March of 2020, Troy was pronounced cancer free! We are so overjoyed and thankful that we have been given another lease on life! We plan to live life to the fullest each day!
After going through this heart-breaking ordeal, I realized my life’s purpose and vision is to help terminally ill people have a “Timeless Dream Event”. We love to celebrate life each day, and I want others to feel the same way! Everyone deserves a celebration.
I am a compassionate person who understands this type of sensitive situation and will empathize with you during this time. I am proud of the services we offer and the vendors that I work with and hope you will follow us on this special journey!
I plan various types of events (e.g. weddings, birthdays, showers) on any budget, and at minimal notice! I will ensure that you have an amazing, everlasting Timeless Dream Event, something that you will never forget! Cherished moments are forever!
