Mum now 46 years old and her partner Les reconnected after growing up in the same grove and have longed to get married for some time. With Mum’s illness they decided to move the wedding forward because quite honestly, we don’t know how long she has left. Money is tight as it is for so many of us right now but they desperately wanted to get married and share precious memories with the rest of our family.
When Mum mentioned this to Beth and shared how she worried they wouldn’t be able to afford the wedding due to the time pressure, she kindly asked what was left that they needed. From then it was a whirlwind and suddenly the wedding was upon us and the hospice had helped us with a stunning car, a photographer, flowers, a hairstylist, and someone to come and do Mum’s makeup and make her feel a million dollars like she deserved.
Everyone deserves to feel special on their wedding day. Dove House helped Mum forget about her terminal illness for the day so she could simply enjoy their magical day together.
