Life is a fragile chain of experiences held together by love. If there could be only one thing in life to learn, it would be to love. ~Katie Kirkpatrick

Oh goodness that is sad, but I'm so happy she was able to experience true love and have her fairytale wedding.

I've read this story before, but it still makes me really sad. It makes me appreciate all the blessings in my life a little bit more.

You know, when i first saw this pic, i didn't even notice the tube on her face leading to her arm...all i noticed was "wow they look sooo happy in this photo!" then read the story and my heart sank. you know, this girl has some strength and character....it makes me wonder how strong her husband is. He must be a rock.

@ Laylabelle - Your post is exactly why I posted this. My wedding was beautiful but the planning sometimes seemed overwhelming. I think this story really put things into perspective for me.

That is so sad. But it's nice to think that evey though she knew she was sick, she still made time for life's milestones. I'm sure she was happy to get to be a bride :). She must have had a lot of courage!
