Stories such as this one makes us warm in the heart: cancer survivor wins $100,000 dream wedding.
A Tampa bride-to-be who defied doctors' expectations after being told she had a year to live four years ago celebrated another victory Tuesday - she and her fiancee won a $100,000 dream wedding.
Courtney Dempsey, 33, and Gary Courtney, 37, were among 40,000 couples who entered US Magazine's wedding contest. The prize includes a dress and honeymoon.
"We're beyond thrilled. We're actually in a state of shock right now," Dempsey said.
Dempsey was diagnosed with late-stage melanoma four years ago and doctors told her she had less than a year to live. She survived beyond that and began dating Courtney. But soon after, doctors said she needed a double mastectomy.
Blessings indeed comes with many different faces. How cool is that?!
