PHOTO SLIDESHOW: Terminally-ill bride’s joy as wedding day dream comes true

You may kiss the bride: Happy couple Leanna Cox and William Boulton.

It was an emotional moment when beautiful bride Leanna Cox tied the knot with her partner William Boulton in her dream wedding on Saturday.

Here we re-live the moment in photos that brave Leanna, of Mansfield, who is terminally ill walked down the aisle at Newstead Abbey.

The 27-year-old found out she had cancer just months before the couple were originally due to be married in 2012, and since then she had fought a tough battle against Hodkins Lymphoma.

The couple, of Lord Street, were determined to get married and asked for help with the costs as William had to reduce his shifts at work to help care for her.

After their plight was highlighted in the Chad, the couple were inundated with offers from kind-hearted residents and businesses who helped their dream come true at the weekend.
