PHOTO THAT'S GONE VIRAL.
JENNA IS HERE WITH ALL OF THIS.
>> DAVID AND HEATHER CALLED EACH
OTHER SOUL MATES.
THEIR STORY IS ONE OF
UNCONDITIONAL COMMITMENT, THEIR
LOVE FOR EACH OTHER, INSPIRING.
>> HEATHER IS PROBABLY THE
KINDEST, MOST SUPPORTIVE PERSON
IN MY LIFE.
YOU KNOW, SHE HAD THE BEAUTY TO
GO WITH IT.
AND SHE WAS JUST THE PERFECT
PACKAGE.
>> WELL, SHE LOVED TO SING AND
LOVED TO DANCE.
>> YOU MET HER AT A SWING DANCE
CLASS.
IS THAT RIGHT?
>> YES.
WE WOULD ALWAYS DANCE WITH EACH
OTHER.
AND EVERYBODY DANCES AS A GROUP.
>> SHE HAD TOLD ME, SHE SAYS,
MOM, I MET SOMEONE.
AND SHE SAID, HE HAD TWO GIRLS.
>> THEY WERE STAR GAZED, FOR
SURE.
>> Reporter: IT WAS A STORYBOOK
LOVE FILLED WITH SO MUCH
PROMISE.
BUT JUST OVER A YEAR AGO,
30-YEAR-OLD HEATHER MOSSIER
FOUND A LUMP IN HER BREAST.
>> THEY GO IN THERE AND THE
DOCTOR SAID, SORRY, I'M PRETTY
SURE THIS IS CANCER.
>> Reporter: ON THE VERY DAY
DAVID WAS GOING TO PROPOSE CAME
A DEVASTATING DIAGNOSIS, TRIPLE
NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER.
WHEN YOU PROPOSED TO HER, IT WAS
PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST DAYS
AND ALSO ONE OF THE HARDEST DAYS
OF YOUR LIFE.
>> I SAID, YOU KNOW, HOW CAN
THIS BE HAPPENING?
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE PROPOSING TO
HER TONIGHT.
>> Reporter: DAVID WENT THROUGH
WITH HIS PLAN, TAKING HEATHER ON
A HORSE AND CARRIAGE RIDE TO POP
THE QUESTION.
>> I SAID, MORE THAN ANYTHING,
SHE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT I'M WITH
HER.
AND SHE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT
WHATEVER THIS JOURNEY IS GOING
TO BE, SHE'S GOT ME.
>> I'VE HAD SHORTNESS OF BREATH.
>> Reporter: OVER THE NEXT FEW
MONTHS, HEATHER WENT THROUGH
CHEMOTHERAPY AND RADIATION.
BUT THE CANCER CONTINUED TO
SPREAD.
>> I WAS THERE THE FIRST TIME.
AND SHE ASKED ME.
SHE SAID, DADDY, I CAN'T
BREATHE.
AND THE DOCTOR SAID WE HAVE TO
PUT A TUBE IN.
>> THE DAY AFTER SHE WAS PUT ON
LIFE SUPPORT, I SAID OUT LOUD, I
SAID, GOD, YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME A
BREAK.
I CAN'T HANDLE ANYMORE.
YOU GOT TO HELP ME.
I GET A PHONE CALL, ONE OF THE
NURSES.
SAYS, HEATHER IS WONDERING WHEN
YOU'RE GOING TO GET HERE.
EXCUSE ME?
HOW IS SHE?
SHE'S RIDING THIS.
>> Reporter: THEY SET THEIR DATE
FOR SEPTEMBER 30th, BUT THE
CANCER WAS SPREADING QUICKLY.
THEY MOVED THE DATE TO DECEMBER
22nd.
>> DAVE IS ONE OF THE MOST
HONORABLE MEN I HAVE KNOWN.
>> HE COULD HAVE RUN.
AND HE STUCK BY HER SIDE, EVERY
APPOINTMENT, EVERY CHEMO
APPOINTMENT, HE WAS THERE.
>> Reporter: THE WEDDING WAS
INSIDE ST. FRANCIS HOSPITAL IN
HARTFORD.
>> SHE HAD ALWAYS DREAMED OF
BEING A MOM AND A WIFE.
AND NOW, SHE GOT TO BE HIS WIFE.
AND SHE WANTED THAT MORE THAN
ANYTHING ELSE.
SHE LIVED FOR THAT MOMENT.
>> SHE STRUGGLED TO SAY HER
VOWS.
>> Reporter: BUT SHE SAID THEM.
>> SHE SAID THEM.
>> Reporter: HEATHER PASSED AWAY
JUST 18 HOURS AFTER THEY
EXCHANGED THEIR VOWS.
THEIR WEDDING PHOTO, FULL OF
LOVE, WENT VIRAL.
>> IT SHOWED RELIEF IN HER FACE.
AND SHE'S LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I CONQUERED CANCER.
CANCER WON IN THE END.
BUT CANCER DIDN'T BEAT HER,
THOUGH.
AND THAT'S HOW SHE FELT, WAS
JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I DID IT.
I SAID I WAS GOING TO GET
MARRIED.
AND YOU KNOW, WE DID IT.
>> AND JUST, THEIR FACES JUST
LIT UP FOR EACH OTHER.
>> MOST PEOPLE SAW THE LOVE
BETWEEN THEM.
AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HOPEFUL
FOR THAT LOVE.
THEY DREAM OF THAT LOVE.
>> WE JUST KNEW.
WE HAD AN UNDERSTANDING THAT WE
LOVED EACH OTHER.
AND I WISH THEY MADE A BETTER
WORD THAN LOVE BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT WE FELT, SOMETHING BETTER
THAN LOVE.
>> I'LL BE A LIGHT FOR GOD, FOR
YOU.
>> THAT WAS ONE OF THE LAST
THINGS SHE SAID, FOR THE LORD.
AND I THINK THIS IS HER WAY OF
JUST BEING A LIGHT.
SHE WAS SO INSPIRATIONAL.
>> LOVE YOUR LIFE AS FULL AS YOU
CAN.
DON'T MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HUG
YOUR KIDS.
JUST ENJOY YOUR LIFE AS MUCH AS
YOU CAN AND LOVE EVERYONE YOU
CAN.
AND THAT'S WHO SHE WAS.
>> SO, HEATHER HAD A FEW DREAMS.
SHE WAS AN EDUCATOR.
SHE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE AN
EDUCATOR.
SHE HAD HER DREAM JOB.
SHE WANTED TO GET MARRIED AND
SHE WANTED TO BE A MOM.
DAVE HAS TWO KIDS FROM HIS
PREVIOUS MARRIAGE.
AND THEY CALLED HER BONUS MOM.
SHE HAD ALL OF HER DREAMS COME
TRUE.
THE OTHER THING THAT HEATHER'S
FAMILY IS SO THANKFUL FOR ARE
THE DOCTORS AND THE NURSES FROM
ST. FRANCIS HOSPITAL, WHO
DECORATED THE ROOM FOR THE
WEDDING, DID EVERYTHING TO MAKE
SURE HER DREAM WOULD COME TRUE.
AND THEIR ONE WISH, THE REASON
THEY'RE SPEAKING OUT NOW IS THEY
REALLY HOPE THEY FIND A CURE FOR
THIS PARTICULAR BREAST CANCER
THAT COULD HAVE SAVED HER.
>> HOW PEOPLE DREAM ABOUT THAT
LOVE THAT THEY GOT TO
EXPERIENCE.
>> THEY'RE INCREDIBLE PEOPLE.
>> WE'LL BE BACK.
FIRST THIS, IS "TODAY" ON NBC.
>>> WE'RE BACK AT 8:48 WITH
