In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took care of every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss

An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that ketie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well. The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents. Excited to see her son marrying his high school sweetheart.

"And I will walk with you,
using the stars as guides.
On a homeward path we go
Knowing our time is nigh

I, and I will walk to be with you.
All I've done,
to be with you...

So put your hand in mine,
and lay your head to rest.
We'll light the candles now - they won't be lit for long
we'll know our day was blessed

I, and I will walk to be with you.
All I've done, all I've done
Just to be with you...
I, I,

And I will walk with you,
Using the stars as guides
on a homeward path we go,
knowin' our time is nigh

I, I will walk to be with you.
All I've done,
and all I say
I, I, 
To be with you,
to be with you,
to be with you.
