Cancer couldn’t come in the way of Heather Mosher, who, even in her final hours of her life, married the one she loved. The bride from Connecticut had been battling breast cancer for a year and her now-husband fulfilled what we can only call a bittersweet and heartbreaking dying wish.

David Mosher, Heather’s husband had proposed to her a year earlier on December 23, 2016. This also happened to be the same day she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
“She didn’t know I was going to propose that night, but I said to myself, she needs to know she’s not going to go down this road alone,” David said.
“A pair of draft horses, a carriage, and I arranged it all for that night. We went out on the carriage ride and I proposed to her under a street light,” he went ahead to explain.

The couple had met at a dance class over two years ago in May 2015 and were quite inseparable after that. But before their blossoming relationship could envelop into a love for a lifetime affair, the couple took a hit as Heather got diagnosed with cancer.

But cancer didn’t come in the way of her dream of sharing her special day and the most beautiful moment of her life with her husband, David. She got married to the man she loved at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut, before dying on December 23. Her last words were her wedding vows.
She celebrated her wedding with fleeting joy and arms outstretched. Heather’s dream may have lasted only for 18 hours but their love will remain in the hearts of many forever.

“Nobody thought she would’ve made it that far. She proved them all wrong and that’s what that photo says to me. It reminds me of someone who is crossing the finish line of a marathon or something,” David said to WFSB.
