In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took care
Of every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss

An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that Katie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well.
The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents. Excited to see their son marrying his high school sweetheart.

At the reception, Katie had to take a few rests. The pain did not allow her to stand for long periods

Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think.....

Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it lasts.
We should stop making our lives complicated..

Life is short

Break the rules

Forgive quickly

love truly

Laugh constantly

And never stop smiling

No matter how strange life is

Life is not always the party we expected to be

But as long as we are here, we should smile and be
Grateful.
