(New York Times) – When Moira Legault, who has brain cancer, was given about a year to live, she knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Tyler Ferron.

Almost $30,000 of transferable vendor services were donated to the couple, including the wedding planner and designer, Lindsey Shaktman of Mavinhouse Events, which is based in Ipswich, Mass.

The wedding was held on Nov. 7 at Amherst Woman’s Club in Amherst, Mass., in front of about 50 guests. Ashton Ferron, Mr. Ferron’s brother, led the ceremony. The couple did not get legally married because Ms. Legault did not want to pass the debt she incurred as a result of her cancer treatments to Mr. Ferron. (Read More)
