A mum with months to live felt like a “princess” after her community rallied together to throw her the perfect wedding. Emma Rice, 32, married childhood sweetheart Dava Rice, 34, on April 29, 2023, after local businesses donated the venue, cake, cars, DJ, and photographer for free.
The wedding day was organised just months after Emma was diagnosed with stage four terminal ovarian cancer in January 2023. Her symptoms began in February 2021, when she started experiencing heavy bleeding from her vagina and discomfort.
Medics thought her contraceptive coil had become dislodged but further examinations of her cervix revealed the ''devastating truth''. Despite undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the cancer spread, and Emma was told she had around a year to live.
