Hospice Wedding Fulfills Grandma’s Last Wish 💍

DYING GRANDMA’S FINAL WISH COMES TRUE IN EMOTIONAL HOSPICE WEDDING <br /> <br />WITH VID AND PIX <br /> <br /> BY SHANNON PICKETT <br /> <br />This bride has shared the heartwarming moment between her and her grandma as she prepares to be married at a hospice, to get one last special moment together. <br />An 80-year-old grandmother battling leukaemia lived just long enough to witness one final, unforgettable moment, seeing her beloved granddaughter surprise her groom in the wedding dress she bought for just $10.<br />Konda Ogle, from North Carolina, USA, captured the emotional footage that has melted hearts across the country.<br />Her 21-year-old granddaughter, Cheney Ogle Haws, and Cheney’s nan, Linda Ogle, shared an unbreakable bond - one that made their final days together a story of love, strength, and second-hand magic.<br />In June 2024, Linda, already battling leukaemia, went thrift shopping with her daughter-in-law and Cheney. That day, in the back racks of a local store, they spotted a hidden gem, a $10 Vera Wang wedding dress. Linda instantly knew it was meant for Cheney.<br />Konda said: “She purchased it for her granddaughter to wear at her wedding reception.<br />“It was just one of those beautiful moments, simple, unexpected, and full of love.”<br />By the end of March 2025, Linda’s health took a turn, and she was admitted to hospice. With Cheney’s April wedding fast approaching, the family realized something painful, Linda wouldn’t make it to the big day.<br />Konda told how the hospice staff rallied. Nurses arranged for the facility’s chapel to host a surprise ‘mini wedding.’<br />Volunteers decorated the space with flowers and a volunteer guitarist filled the air with soft music. The groom waited at the end of the aisle.<br />And then, in a moment so intimate it defied words, Cheney entered in the $10 thrifted gown her Nan had lovingly picked out.<br />Four days later, Linda unfortunately passed away, but her dream had come true. <br />Konda said: “We knew Nan would enjoy seeing her granddaughter surprise her groom in the dress,.<br />“So, we asked the nurses if there was a place she could change. What happened next… was beyond anything we imagined. <br />“There was a special prayer for the couple.<br />“Nan was thrilled. She was glowing. She couldn’t stop smiling.”<br />ENDS
