‘They gave my girlfriend 48 hours to live so we got married in the hospital waiting room’ (Photos)

Devastated Jack Beniston had to act fast when he was told him his cancer-stricken girlfriend only had two days to live. Within six hours of the heart-breaking bombshell, Jack, 22, had proposed to her and they had wed in a waiting room at the hospital where she was a patient.

Friends, family and staff helped organise the big day, getting 32-year-old bride Michelle O’Connor’s dress and ring.

Jack said: “Going down the aisle towards the altar was the first time she had walked in a month.

“She managed to take three or four steps before she fell and I helped her the rest of the way.

“It was hard for everyone to keep it together but Michelle was happy as anything. I cried more than her.

Barman Jack and jeweller Michelle had been overjoyed in June last year when their daughter Martha was born.

But weeks later the couple were told Michelle, who had three children from a previous relationship, had inoperable cervical cancer.

But after jeweller Michelle was discharged from hospital she began suffering crippling stomach pains.

She made several visits to the GP and doctors repeatedly told her the Caesarean was to blame…

Jack Beniston and Michelle O'Connor married in hospital just before she was told she had days before she would die of cancer. Pictured - Michelle and Jack on hospital on there wedding day
