Perkahwinan disaat kematian hampir tiba.. =(

Pernahkah anda membayangkan melangsungkan pernikahan menjelang detik-detik kematian psgn anda?

Katie Kirkpatrick, 21 tahun melangsungkan perkahwinan dengan pasangannya Nick, 23 tahun menjelang detik kematiannya. Katie menderita sejenis kanser dan menghabiskan beberapa jam setiap harinya untuk terapi. Nick dengan setia menunggu Katie melakukan kimoterapi.

Katie tetap mahu melangsungkan perkahwinannya walaupun dia terpaksa menahan rasa sakit.

Gaun yang dipakainya dikecilkan beberapa kali kerana Katie terus menerus kehilangan berat badannya.

Pernikahan dengan aksesori yang luar biasa iaitu tiub oksigen sentiasa dipakai oleh katie dalam upacara pernikahannya. Dalam reseps itui, beberapa kali katie berhenti rehat kerana rasa sakit itu membuatnya tidak boleh berdiri lama-lama.

Katie meninggal dunia 5 hari kemudian setelah pernikahannya. Melihat seorang wanita yang sakit dan lemah melakukan pernikahan dengan sebuah senyuman di wajahnya membuat kita berfikir….. Kebahagiaan boleh dicapai walaupun seketika. Kita seharusnya tidak membuat hidup kita menjadi rumit...

Katie was exhausted. Her face looked as white as her gown. Five days later, Katie died. She did not let sickness stop her from living, take away the hope or faith that made her believe she had a future. She had a lovely wedding and she had love and she gave love and love doesn' t die. And that is how Katie beat cancer.
