An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that Katie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well.

Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think….. Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it lasts .
