Two high school sweethearts finally got their chance to say “I do,” but their wedding didn’t happen the way they expected.

Ronda Mager was diagnosed with epithelioid sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, one year ago. Doctors recently told her she only had days to live.

“I ask God every day, why,” her husband Matthew Mager said to ABC affiliate WATE-TV.

“I brought her home and I fulfilled what I promised to her, that we’re getting married,” Matthew told WATE.
