Tracy & Amber Schultz

In the summer of 2019, at King of Kings Lutheran Church, God brought us together. Tracy greeted Amber’s parents and began our journey. Our first date at Granite City sparked an instant connection, uniting us through shared passions for biking, hiking, and being Chiefs fans. Together, we have enjoyed watching football games and travels but also made it through the tough times of COVID lockdowns.

February 11th, 2023, appeared to be an ordinary Saturday, with chores and tasks. Amber was out shopping when Tracy called, changing the days plans. His suggestion to “kick the tires” in a jewelry store led to exploring rings. (A prelude to what was to come.) We had evening plans at our favorite restaurant, Acre, for our Valentine’s Day celebration. When we returned to Amber’s home, Tracy seized the moment and proposed.

Originally planning an August 19, 2023 wedding, life’s took an shocking turn, Tracy’s leukemia diagnosis. We learned the severity of his cancer, that he would be enduring a year of intense treatment, followed by a couple more years of maintenance treatment. So on May 6, 2023, with an intimate gathering of our families, we exchanged vows. Tap here to watch!

Tracy has bravely battled leukemia and is in remission! He is a survivor! GTGTG! As we celebrate his tremendous milestone and on our five year anniversary, we want to renew our vows! It’s our heartfelt desire to gather all our cherished friends and family to share in this celebration of life, love, and resilience.
