This Real-Life "A Walk to Remember" Story Will Make You Cry

High school sweethearts Amie Cresswell and Omar Al Shaikh met eight months ago while attending Four Dwellings Academy in Birmingham, England. Omar was in remission for acute myeloid leukemia when they began dating. In March, the cancer came back, and his doctors told him that he had just three months to find a stem cell donor.

Tip of the Day: There's a big difference between getting a custom-made wedding gown and having minor adjustments made.

And, even if the designer can't do it, there's a good chance any full-service bridal salon can.
