Nako Chung turned her dream into a heart-melting reality, thanks to the support of her loved ones.
Life rarely goes as planned, but our dreams can often carry us through the toughest challenges. Nako Chung (@nakochung) always dreamed of marrying her best friend and having her father walk her down the aisle. Sadly, she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and faced an uncertain future. But even as her health declined, her dream never wavered. A few months ago, with the support of her loved ones, that dream became a reality.
Despite her diagnosis and ongoing treatment, Chung held onto her hopes and moved the internet to tears with her heartwarming wedding ceremony. Sharing a glimpse of her special day, she wrote, “I have stage 4 cancer and don’t know how many days I have left.” Dressed in a stunning wedding gown, Chung walked down the aisle, surrounded by the love of her family and friends. From the first look to the bouquet, every detail was thoughtfully planned to ensure her day was as special as any bride’s.
Though Chung wasn’t in a position to walk down the aisle, her loved ones had her covered. The bride had a wheelchair and a custom-made walker and captured her moment walking with her dad. “My bridesmaids surprised me with a handmade walker,” she exclaimed. The two bridesmaids were seen in various glimpses wrapping and decorating her walker to make it fit for the occasion. Chung mentioned that they used leftover material from her wedding gown and their creativity to adorn the walker in a way that matches her dress.
Chung was able to hold her father’s hand and walk down the aisle on her wedding day in a tear-jerking moment. “Walking down the aisle with the best dad in the world,” she wrote as her father gently and patiently held her. She was even given her bridal entry with her groom as they entered their wedding reception. Her best friend-turned-husband gently yet enthusiastically danced alongside her. Chung couldn't stop smiling from cheek to cheek.
Chung witnessed one of the “best days” of her life, thanks to her strength and the love of her dear ones. The bride left people bawling in tears, wishing the couple nothing but the best. @rubylee77 wrote, “May you beat cancer, you deserve the world.” @dachubs2016 added, “May the rest of your days be filled with joy and peace.” @jen45446 wrote, “This is a huge reminder to be appreciative of everything. Wishing you love.” Many also mentioned in the comments that Chung unfortunately passed away a month or two after her wedding but there has been no confirmation from her spouse or family.
