The cold hands of death had its way, but that did not stop 10-year-old Emma Edwards from accomplishing her fervent dream of getting married to her boyfriend, 10-year-old Daniel Marshall Christopher Williams Junior.
According to report, the now-late youngster was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in April 2022, but her parents had hopes that she would survive the condition and kept the hopes up.
Symptoms may include enlarged lymph nodes, bruising, fever, bone pain, bleeding from the gums and frequent infections.
As if having such a distressing condition was not overwhelming enough, doctors later told little Emma’s parents that her cancer was incurable, adding she had just days to die.
Heartbreaking as the news of their lovely daughter’s death prediction might have been to them, Emma’s parents thought it fulfilling to arrange for her dream wedding to her lover before she finally gave up the ghost.
“After being told the heartbreaking news, Emma’s parents decided to set about making her dream of marrying her boyfriend a reality.
“Emma and ten-year-old Daniel Marshall Christopher Williams Junior, also known as DJ, had once attempted to get hitched during their lunch break at school when they were just eight.
“Family and friends gathered to put on the dream ‘wedding’ in June, with more than 100 guests in attendance,”
Although Emma died in July as predicted by the doctors, her bereaved parents, despite being heartbroken, are glad they at least helped her achieve her dream of tying the knot with her lover before exiting this world.
