Jen Bulik and partner Jeff Lang met six years ago after being introduced by a mutual friend. The pair were set to get engaged in December when Jen developed a cough that was initially diagnosed as pneumonia.
In January the 35-year-old was given news that changed everything. Jen was suffering from stage four-lung cancer and only last month received her prognosis, she has 4-to-6 months to live.
The Californian girl decided to waste no more time and marry the love of her life, Jeff.
