Me too, but if it's what she wants, go for it.

Once I read the article for myself, I didn't find her wish to be weird AT ALL.
She and her boyfriend who proposed last summer, want to be together and IF she weren't going to dye, hopefully they would end up together. She is realistic enough to know that because of her illness, a wedding somewhere down the line simply wasn't going to be possible.
As for having a committment ceremony, due to insurance issues, sounds reasonable to me also.
I have CHF, to the tune of 90% heart failure. And at this time, I probably wouldn't MARRY a man without a great insurance plan, we'd be broke...
I commend her for knowing what she wanted. Some children choose to have state of the art electronic set ups, huge sweet 16s, really special vacation. She wanted to experience a wedding to her true love as she knows it right now.

To me, that is a reasonable request....what about those people who request to see someone famous...to me, this is something that those closest to her got to participate in and will remember upon her death! It really showed the commitment level of her boyfriend - I think it is great!

If I was dying, I know that this would be my wish! Getting married is one of those big milestones in life in addition to having children and watching them grow up (which she'll never have or get to see). What should she do as her last wish? Go to Disney world?! lol
I also love how her boyfriend is staying by her side even though it must be tough for him to know she'll die and watch her decline. I wonder how long they've been together.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to meet a celebrity...you probably won't get to do it, but asking never hurt!

Exactly, especially the last line. Love conquers all. Even Death.
