21year-old Katie Kirkpatrick Godwin held off her cancer so she could have her happiest day of her life. She had to battle her cancer but it always returned. She had to use an oxygen tank to breath, the pain the back was so strong in broke though the morphine and her organs were shutting down. Yet all this was not able to stop her from marrying Nick Godwin who'd loves her from 11th grade.Katie got married on January 15, 2005 five days later she died. That's how love can beat even the toughest sickness.

Heard your wife left you,

But don't fret about it...

aha...yes..indeed, if the marriage isn't consumated its a reason for divorce or the marriage never happened...or something like that....

lol supernurse..

Actually consumation (is that a word) isn't a prerequisite to whether the marriage is legal or not.
