Our friend Brittani tonight married her high-school sweetheart. Actually they were in 8th grade when they started dating. During Brittani’s freshman year, she was diagnosed with a very rare cancer, Ewing sarcoma. She went through treatments at the hospital in Texas. She was chosen for a clinical study of a new drug which ended up causing problems with her lungs. She had her lung transplant last summer and stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in St. Louis for 3 months. She came home at the end of August and finished her senior year.

The Dr.’s have told her recently that she needs another lung transplant. She has a rare disease in her lungs that makes it difficult for her to breathe. It took everything that she had tonight to walk down the aisle, stand during the ceremony and dance with her dad and new husband!

As the best man and maid of honor gave their toasts to the bride and groom. They spoke of how Brittani and Gavin’s love and relationship has been a true inspiration to everyone. They have gone through together at an early age what most couple’s will never have to go through. They have set the example with their unbelievable hope, love and faith.

Please pray that they have many years together. God has healed Brittani several times in the past and may he perform another miracle!
