Despite the news, the pair had set their wedding date for December 30, 2017, but they had to move it sooner because of Heather’s cancer’s quick progression. On December 22, 2017, the couple was married while Heather was surrounded by loved ones in her hospital bed.

Although Heather’s body was weak, and the family was prepared to cover her with the dress like a blanket, she could don the gown inside the hospital chapel. Every word, every breath, and every movement during the ceremony was a struggle for Heather, but she was adamant about marrying her true love. The pair exchanged vows, and appropriately, those were her final words. It was only 18 hours after saying “I do” that Heather passed away.
