Heather and David met in 2015 and the two were quickly ‘inseparable’ afterwards. They would soon become a couple.

Supposed to be a happy lives turn upside down when Heather was diagnosed with cancer on December 23, 2016. It was a devastating moment so close to Christmas but the diagnosis did not scare David off. Instead, he decided to propose to her on that very day, not just to prove his love but to also let her know he’d be sticking with her no matter what happens.

“I said to myself, ‘She needs to know she’s not going to go down this road alone,'” said David.

Despite surgeries and chemotherapy, the aggressive form of cancer spread and she had to be put on a ventilator. They set a wedding date of Dec. 30, 2017, but doctors urged them to do it sooner and they moved up the date. And decided to hold the ceremony on December 22.

On her wedding day, family and friends worked together to get Heather Mosher into her gown and a wig. The couple exchanged vows in the hospital’s chapel.

It was a bittersweet day for the couple.

According to bridesmaid and photographer Christina Lee, her friend was radiant as she married her sweetheart. Christina admitted she found it difficult to raise her camera to take the photos but also knew she had to do it because Heather’s time is nearly up. These would be her last photos and she wants it to be beautiful.

Heather even on her hospital looked radiant and gorgeous. She was truly celebrating her wedding day with the people she loves.

David Mosher said some of his wife’s final words were her vows.

“It was just like surreal because I’m supposed to be exchanging vows to her and here I am saying goodbye,” said David.

After saying her wedding vows, she was taken back to her room due to breathing difficulties. She and David had the traditional cake slicing ceremony on her hospital bed.

Sadly, hours later Heather died.

A grieving Christina posted the photos and wrote a heartfelt tribute to her friend.

“Heather chose to spend her last hours celebrating surrounded by people she loved and who loved her. How do I know God is real? Because He was filling her with joy despite the fact that outwardly her body was failing. She chose to let God carry her, instead of wasting her last hours angry at him for allowing this illness. And carry her he did. He carried her home.”

Her funeral was held Saturday, the original date of the wedding.
