At least she got some happiness before she passed.

Oncology nurse-I’ve seen these type of weddings often but rarely that close to death. So fucking bittersweet. Makes all the nurses bawl.

Okay thats really heart warming don't get me wrong. But why? The long term of that was terrible and was very unwise but heart warming.
anakhasilver
Because sometimes you do things to make the present a little more bearable, to put a little more happiness in the world.

Understandable

see ladies, men aren't afraid of marriage, just long-term commitment.

Her name was Heather Lindsay. I grew up her. Some of you guys are monsters.

*with her. She was a wonderful person.
FreakyFerguson
Sorry for your loss. A lot of people cope with emotion by detaching and throwing comedy into it. I don’t think anyone meant her any harm.
GrimmyChims
I know. It’s frustrating but I understand. Thank you :)

Jesus this had to be insanely emotional

Yeah. He's not gonna remarry anytime soon either.

Don't think Jesus cared enough.

Imagine if the guy marries again and has to explain how he was married once before

For the life insurance money, obviously.

Not even trying to be weird, but the love people have for each other is without a doubt the greatest power mankind possesses.
Burkeybumkins
Wow, what a weird statement.

Cheesy, clichè (or however you spell it,) and true.

Sometimes all we need as people is just a good cliche.

So my brother died of cancer ~ 4 years ago, and got married maybe a month before he died. Imo, it was a horrible idea, and one of the 1/3
Squirrelingus
Haha
shhep
I kinda agree. In my town there's been a dude that dumped his fiancee in no-bullshit manner and died some months later. I don't know details
shhep
but rumor mill's going and old ladies all vehemently claim he did that to spare the poor girl some anguish. I mean I'm not sure, but it 100%
shhep
would be an extremely selfless thing to do. But who are we to judge people loving and/or dying.
legitchrispratt
worst memories/experiences of my life. It didn't look like he enjoyed it at all. He asked me to wheel HIM down the aisle to meet his wife2/3
legitchrispratt
He was very sick/weak throughout and it was really just a horrifyingly sad day for everyone involved. Marriage is supposed to be about 3/4
legitchrispratt
Starting your new life together, not tying a knot because you feel like having that experience. Just wanted to share, because every time
legitchrispratt
I see a post like this I remember how awful that day was for him and our family and it makes me sick to my stomach.

On the other hand... How do you know it wasn't a boost? That it made him just a little bit happier in that time?

I'm guessing if you marry a woman who's literally on her deathbed, you're not marrying her for the sex.
SirSmurfalot
Speak for yourself buddy!
scotthunts
She died from being choked to death during sex
Rickrollroney
I know this is possibly insensitive, but wouldn't all her hospital bills become his after the marriage?
mirhagk
If only she didn't live in freedomland
mstalltree
I think it's more religious than federally accepted marriage.

Maybe she is rich and it is his heritage now....

Good luck getting a policy when you’re already terminally ill.
DawnofAzazel
Weirdly my uncle got one, I guess it was a screwup but they just never asked if he had any illnesses.
makelthappen
No shit, she could've already had one from before she was diagnosed
DarkwingDuc
Even with very good insurance, you come out of cancer or any major medical event w/ a ton of debt. I know first hand. Our system is fucked.
stoutde
Recycling a line out of the lgbtq+ marriage equality fight: "wedding does not equal marriage", one is a ceremony and the other a contract.
d3jake
In short, marriage ceremony is not the same as legally married.
Crashdlanding
For an answer not judging marriage: if the paperwork is signed and it’s legal, yes.
Votekick
Plot twist she's rich AF.
mikeGiraffeBaron
What’s insensitive is that we live in a country where we have to wonder things like that.
badgersnuffles
As a Canadian I want to give you 1000 upvotes for visibility. Our healthcare system isn't great, but it's a lot less financially crippling.
iwritefantasy
It is more than a little messed up.
Dewlimely
I work in the medical billing field. As long as the Husband doesn't have a joint bank account, then they can't legally go after him.

It depends on the state and if it was a legit wedding. In Michigan bill collectors can't come after family, unless family was on the bill.
wanderica
Depends on State laws, but when my mom passed, my dad did not inherit hospital debt. In NC, that is unsecured debt like a credit card.
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
It's not even dependant on the state. It's against federal regulations to collect medical debt from a spouse. That said, they can collect(1)
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
from the deceased's estate, and if there was unprotected community property, the spouse could lose some of it. Or if the spouse signed (2)
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
a spousal agreement to allow the transference of debt, but no one should sign one of those. (3)
prawnklng
I’m sure she was worth it financially. He must of inherited a shit-ton of money/assets.

Fuck's sake America you gotta stop this nonsense.

Yeah, that's the first thought that ran across my mind, since I'm currently drowning in medical debt.

Yes, we do. Will we? Nope. Not until big pharma loses its grip.
AntiProtonBoy
Make political "donations" outright illegal.
alpacasaurusrex
They aren’t LEGAL LEGAL but there are a fuckbutt if loopholes they rape to do it.
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
It's against federal regulations to pass medical debt to a spouse. There are a lot of things wrong with US Healthcare, but deceased (1)
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
medical debt is not one of them. That said, many cancer treatment facilities do force a spousal agreement if you want to be treated, (2)
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
but you do have a choice to go elsewhere that doesn't. (3)
ssaberhagen
There are so many things that this logic applies to in the US. Its almost criminal how badly we treat some of our own.
stoutde
It is in many places, just not here..
56chatnoir0
True but I'm not worried about other places.
stoutde
What I was trying to imply is that it's only not criminal here for lack of law making it so.
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
Not really. He doesn't take on her debt, but any community property in the estate will have to be liquidated to pay for as much as it (1)
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
can. But there are limitations to what has to be liquidated. Given their situation, I doubt he'd lose anything other than what she (2)
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
planned to will, which would have happened either way, and most of what is willed is worth less than it takes to collect, so they'll (3)
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
just write it off and subsidize it from other patients, as usual. (4)
cawkstriker
Ceremony means shit it's honestly all about the paper work (I don't mean to be insensitive as well it's just not official till both sign)
DizzyStupid
Both sign and then mail into your state/local government to process. Then it's legal. But that doesn't make the ceremony less real.
MrsRodriguez
Yes it does. You can literally sign a piece of paper to get married. The ceremony isn't necessary at all..
duojet
I don't mean to be insensitive, but I really hate that shit.

Start your sentence with "no offence" and then you can say whatever you want - that's how it works right?
pachyderm
No offense, but you've spelled "offense" incorrectly.
Votekick
Also technically both are correct. Like the colour (or color) grey/gray.
Votekick
I take uffense to that.
JoshOfTheDeep
Yeah, pretty much, your not trying to offend anyone, just looking for information, anyone who tries to take this personal is:

On the internet there are people who seem ready to be offended or upset at a moments notice.
