Bride with terminal cancer marries best friend in hospital bed days before dying
According to a recent news story, a 19-year-old married her boyfriend on her hospital bed days before she passed away from her illness. People magazine reported that Nina Marino and Joey Williams were supposed to tie the knot on September 4, but their plans had to be changed drastically when doctors declared that Nina did not have too long to live.
The couple wanted their wedding to take place at St. Joseph’s Children Hospital in Tampa, Florida, but had to change their plans when doctors told them that Nina, who had terminal cancer, wouldn’t make it through the night. "The doctor encouraged us that, if we wanted to be married, we should do it that day," Joey told the publication. "It was a lot all at once. Nina just said, ‘Okay, let’s do it.’"
