Caleb was diagnosed with stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma, after his dentist originally believed it was small issue with a joint in his jaw.

After his diagnosis, the tumor continued to grow for the next year, despite chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

The couple managed to persevere through some difficult months and were eventually engaged. Their wedding date was set for November 1 st .

That date was then changed to October 11 th after Bethany's best friend Brittney entered their story into a competition and won them a wedding worth $100,000.

So, with the help of doctors and nurses, the pair got married in Caleb's hospital room later that day.
