Patrick SwayzePatrick Swayze and wife Lisa Niemi have reportedly renewed their wedding vows in a private ceremony at their New Mexico ranch.

After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the start of the year, Patrick is said to have been helping settle his affairs, including his will and funeral arrangements, in case his ongoing treatment is not a success - but the romantic ceremony, held in front of a small group of close friends, was meant to be a more positive occasion.

A source told the Boston Globe: “It was very important to [Patrick] to express his love and commitment to Lisa. They both mean the world to one another.

“[The cancer] is deadly serious. Doctors have told him that if or when the cancer spreads to his brain he has two weeks to live.

“He is refusing to give up, but right now he’s living for today.”

Patrick and Lisa are set to celebrate their 33rd wedding anniversary on 12th June.
