A couple from Swansea had to delay their wedding vow renewal by three years due to a cancer diagnosis and Covid lockdown restrictions. When Ashley Pegg was diagnosed with ovarian, colonic and umbilical cancer in December 2018, she was told the average lifespan after diagnosis was three to five years.
Ashley said: "It was the cancer diagnosis that triggered the decision to renew our vows. It was a real shock. We decided to renew our wedding vows, thinking I wasn’t going to be here."
But the couple had to push the renewal back on five separate occasions as Ashley's cancer returned. They had discussed renewing their vows in 2019, but ended up setting a date for June 13, 2020 to coincide with their 20th anniversary and the anniversary of Ashley's mother's death.
