Bride shaves hair for groom with terminal cancer on wedding day

, , , , ,

44-yr-old Joan Lyons married her childhood sweetheart 44-yr-old Craig, who was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. 

She decided to shave off her hair on her wedding night as a way to raise funds for charity.

 

The couple who have known each other since they were 17, decided to wed after the Craig confessed that he'd been in love with Joan all his life while aboard a ferry.


The wedding was organized by some local firms after a wedding charity was posted on social media requesting the help of local businesses.


The official wedding photographer, Kimberley Struth, said she was moved by the post and decided to render her service to the couple.

“It was really touching. Everyone was telling Joan that she didn’t have to go through with it if she didn’t want to, but she wanted to do it.
