Love and incurable disease
After the match, Taylor, #12, asked Samantha out on a date, and that’s when their love story began. However, while they fell more and more in love, Samantha’s mother’s health condition worsened. When Samantha was in grade six, her mother was diagnosed with MS, and during Samantha's engagement to Taylor, she found out that her mom had stage four cancer.
Samantha and Taylor were planning to have a destination wedding but the doctor said that it would be too much for her mother to handle, so Samantha chose to cancel the wedding.
She wanted to try and find a venue close to home, so her mom could attend, but the planning process was harder than she thought, especially with her mom’s recent stage four cancer diagnosis.
