"I don't think one person ate at the wedding. We were just dancing and drinking, just celebrating that my mom was alive and our nuptials. That, honestly, for me, that original wedding just showed me that these were the biggest hardships of the beginning of our marriage," Pinnock told People.
"It was so amazing that she was alive, that she was well, that she was going to be better. I knew that we had a long road ahead, medically." Ten years later, the couple decided to renew their vows on their anniversary.

"We're trying to find ways, in this vow renewal, to do a do-over. It won't be as extravagant as the last one, but we wanted it to feel intimate. We wanted it to be not only the celebration of my mom's life but also of all the hardships that we've gone through in the past three years with the pandemic," the bride shared ahead of the event. She added that this moment felt like it was a dream come true.
