Cancer Patient And His Girlfriend Tie The Knot In Hospital : A 16-year-old girl has fulfilled her boyfriend’s last wish by marrying him in hospital – just days before he died, Birmingham, England, UK.

Amie Cresswell and Omar Al Shaikh were dating for eight months and decided to tie the knot afer the boy’s doctors warned he had less than a week to live. Omar was suffering from acute myeloid leukaemia for more than a year and his only hope was to find a stem cell donor but, unfortunately, it did not happen.

When the 16-year-olds heard the terrible news they immediately asked the permission of their parents for a wedding – and they could not refuse. Omar proposed to Amie and the next day they tied the knot in the hospital surrounded by friends and family members. Three days after their big day Omar passed away, his mother Mirabela and new wife were with him at that moment.

Devastated Amie said: “I’m still absolutely heartbroken. Omar wanted to get married before he died and when he proposed I just jumped at the chance. We had talked about getting married but never imagined we would be 16. We thought we would grow old together. When he was told the disease had come back it was just a massive shock.

“I knew I wanted to stand by him through it all. He is such a lovely soul – wanted to spend as much time as I had with him as possible. As he put the ring on my finger he said he wished he had more time with me. I wish we had, too, but I’m so glad we had the chance to make this happy memory.”
