Cancer Patient Dies Just Weeks After Fulfilling Wish To Marry Girlfriend

A young couple in Tennessee’s marriage came to a tragic and heartbreaking end Thursday just weeks after their wedding day.

The couple decided to marry in late August even though 26-year-old Christopher Ford had been diagnosed with cancer about a year ago. A local charity provided free wedding services for Ford to marry Nicole, his fiancé and the mother of his two children, according to the Murfeesboro Daily News Journal.
