Man with lung cancer marries his girlfriend 7 hours before death

October 28, 2019  12:00

A wedding was organized for 33-year-old Gary Smart, dying of lung cancer in Britain hospital, Daily Mail reported.

Gary had complaints of poor health and chest pain in July; he lost weight and did not sleep well. In late September, he was diagnosed with lung cancer in the last stage. Doctors warned that he had only a few days to live.

The patient said that he would like to die a married man, thus they arranged a wedding ceremony right in the hospital. 

'He managed to say his vows and put the ring on my finger and give me a kiss. That night I laid in bed with him. We watched Fast and Furious 8 as he was into cars. I managed to fall asleep and woke up when the call button went off at 3am.

Tragically, just seven hours later Gary passed away with his new bride at his side.
