Dying Teen Has Wedding Of Her Dreams 18/9/2006 11:35:20 AM


Nicole Hastings says she's always dreamed of having a wedding. The Make A Wish Foundation made her dreams come true this weekend.
Now that doctors say the 17-year-old from the Cleveland area has terminal cancer, it's her dying wish. And, it was fulfilled in Mentor.

Nicole and long-time boyfriend Christian Roberts won't exactly be married, but they exchanged vows in a church commitment ceremony similar to the ones used in same-sex unions.

A traditional marriage would leave Nicole without coverage under her family's health insurance, so a friend came up with the alternative.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation paid for the big day, which will include a wedding party of 16 people and a reception with a lavish dinner, a DJ and a cake.

1. Welcome to DU ForFuxakes

Make a wish is my wife's one charity. We give to many (American Cancer Society, Alzheimers, Red Cross, DAV, etc) but Make-a-Wish is her baby. They do a great job.

2. I saw that on the news

They didn't give the details about it not being an official marriage though.

Yep...things like that really humble me and make me realize how trivial some things I consider problems are.
