Shortening of Notice Period
Posted: 07 Feb 2014 05:00 PM PST

Here’s a heart-warming yet terribly sad story of a US couple who were married, with a shortened period of notice, due to family illness. Aly & Anthony Femia arranged their wedding within a 24-hour period after Aly’s mum was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer.

BuzzFeed’s telling of the story of the couple from New Haven, Connecticut has lots of photos of the happy/sad occasion.
