A terminally ill seven-year-old boy has gotten his last wish when he married his mother in a lavish Disney-themed wedding.
In December, Logan Mountcastle was diagnosed with an incurable genetic disorder, Leukodystrophy, which affects the brain and nervous system. Doctors said he has between three and 15 years more to live.
Having always said he wanted to marry his mother, Joelean, the family decided to organise a pretend wedding for him.
Mountcastle was all smiles when he married his mother.
According to UK’s The Sun, dozens of friends and family turned up to Gainsborough Liberal Club in Lincolnshire to witness the Beauty and the Beast-style event.
The paper wrote,
Guests were reduced to tears as little Logan, dressed as dashing prince, went down the aisle with Joelean, who said she was “overwhelmed” by the lovely day.
She told Lincolnshire Live: “Family and friends have contributed to make this party such a good event. We’ve got memories that we will always cherish.
“He’s always said that he wanted to marry mummy, which I thought was a bit bizarre, but he is never going to get the chance when he is older and he has certainly enjoyed himself.
“And you can tell how much he has enjoyed it. He is overwhelmed. All the children have been excited and counting how many sleeps there were until today.
“When he watches Beauty and the Beast he was always laughing – now he’s got what he wants and any mum would want that.”
Instead of reading traditional wedding vows, Joelean made a promise to Logan, telling him she would always keep him safe.
