A poverty-stricken sick couple in Anting Town have finally fulfilled their dream of taking a wedding photo thanks to the warm-hearted donators.
The husband surnamed Wang, 45, was diagnosed as liver cancer last December and one month later the wife surnamed Liu, 44, was diagnosed as nasopharyngeal cancer.
They have a teenager daughter and were worried about the medical bills.
Their story was reported by a local newspaper in February and attracted wide public attentions.
While many people in Jiading offered donation to the couple, a company in downtown Shanghai has promised to raise money for the family in the near future.
The local civil affairs administration has made plans to help the couple.
The couple have never had photos taken together, not even wedding photos.
So the couple's former colleague, Li Haiying, helped arrange free photos taken by Shanghai Wangkai Studio in its VIP room with its best photographer.
The wife has already started radiation therapy and her face is swollen with large black spots. Thus, the dresser spent more than one hour doing the makeup and helped her to put on the studio's most expensive wedding dress.
Liu turned into a beautiful bride. The photos show her leaning in closely to her husband with flowers in hands.
