The couple tied the knot in a "really nice, intimate ceremony" in Devon last month and Whyman said that "there was no mention of anyone being ill, it was a normal wedding and that’s what we wanted".
“The wedding meant a lot to me. I wanted everyone to know that’s the person I’m going to spend the rest of my life with. I wouldn’t want anyone to think we’d got married just because I was ill or because my lifespan has an expectancy.
“If there was a cure tomorrow we’d still be married 60 years from now - that’s why we did it. We might have had to push things forward, because we don’t have that time, but we got married because we love each other very much and we’re going to be together no matter what.”
Having lost her mother to the same condition, Whyman is now calling on the public to do their bit to support cancer charities.
“There might not be a cure for me, but I’m determined to recruit others to the fight against this devastating disease.”Explore more on these topics:
