Couple’s Dying Wish for Dream Wedding, Honeymoon Comes True

[The Straight Story]

Nolan Keane, 28, of Kewanee, Ill., married his high school sweetheart Morgan Carstens, 26, after the couple were the recipient of thousands of dollars in donations via the Internet. Keane was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer four years ago has been battling the disease ever since.

In the meantime, Carstens, a registered nurse, moved into Keane’s family home and took care of him.

“I didn’t think twice about it. I knew he needed me and I would kind of feel guilty taking care of others. We just take it day by day and we make it work … You get put in a situation and you do what you have to do,” she told ABC News, according to a report on Saturday.

Keane proposed to Carstens last November while on a family vacation to Disney World.

“We went to go see the fireworks. Since there was so much walking, he told me, ‘My back is really hurting. Can you get me out the wheelchair?’ And then [he] got down on one knee and I forgot to say yes. I think he kind of knew by my response,” she told the station.

But recently, it was discovered that Keane’s cancer spread and doctors said he has only a year left to live. His final dying wish was to marry Carstens, and he said their honeymoon should take place at Disney World.

1. fuck cancer

I'm a pacifist, but if cancer were a person I would bone-up on torture techniques for the time we would spend alone after I kidnap it.
Fuck cancer.
This couple has already beat cancer by fighting it and not letting it define and scare them. I hope they have the time of thier lives on the honeymoon and that the doctors are wrong about his prognoses. I have cancer and on 3 different occasions I've been told I only had weeks to live- the first time was in 2003. I'm still kicking around ten years later- still taking chemo and staying optimistic. Even if the cancer takes my life, I still won the war by fighting it in the face of fear, exhaustion and never-ending pain. It has never defined me and never will.
Fuck Cancer.
