STUNNING BRIDE TASH YOUNG FOUGHT HARD TO LIVE TO SEE HER WEDDING
-
Aterminally ill bride passed away just a month after she married her husband in a stunning hospital wedding arranged in four days.
Natasha “Tash” Young, 25, had a rare spindle cell sarcoma which doctors first thought was a rib strain caused by moving heavy boxes. Her boyfriend, Simon, 33, proposed minutes after they found out she was not responding to cancer treatment and was given weeks to live.
In just four days her loved ones arranged a stunning wedding at Southampton General Hospital in the UK, which was given special licence to conduct the ceremony during lockdown.
The smitten pair were married for just a month before she died, and now her family is fundraising for the Teenage Cancer Trust and Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Care Unit.
“As soon as Dr Keay left the room after giving us the terminal diagnosis, I asked her to marry me,’’ Simon said. “Our wedding day really was the happiest day of my life. It was a break from everything that was going on. We treated it as though nothing else mattered.
