Weddings are supposed to be one of the happiest days of a person's life.
Unfortunately, sometimes weddings have to happen under really heartbreaking circumstances. After sharing the story of this little girl who exchanged "wedding" vows with her father before his untimely death, I didn't think I could find anything more heartbreaking.
Although that "wedding" ceremony was seriously depressing, Nakeol's story had a silver lining in that, when she grows up someday and gets married to a man her father would have approved of, she has this memory of her dad and this special video to play at the wedding.
The following story is even more upsetting. Rowden and Leizel planned their wedding to happen on July 8, 2014, the day of his 30th birthday. The couple's sweet baby girl, Zakiah, would serve as flower girl and all was right in their world. Then, in a tragic twist of fate, their perfect world came crashing down. Two months before the wedding, Rowden was diagnosed with stage IV liver cancer.
With just days to live, his last request was to marry his true love, Leizel. In the following video, we see their beautiful, yet tragic, hospital room wedding ceremony. Ten hours later, Rowden peacefully passed away.
Although this is no way two soulmates should ever have to tie the knot, it brought me joy to know that this man got his final wish… I only wish that it had been similar to what happened to this bedridden bride.
