For many women, they are always single even while dating until a ring is put on their finger and taking marriage vows on their wedding day as the start of sharing each other’s struggles.
But for American couple, Jillian Hanson and Max Allegretti, by the time they were exchanging their vows at the altar, they had already overcome more than most couples face in a lifetime.
Hanson was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer at the age 25, and knowing the struggle that awaited her, she decided to put an end to their relationship, New York Post reports. The pair became engaged on Hanson’s last day of chemo on and were treated to the wedding of their dreams free of charge on Friday, October 18. Photo: New York Post.

By the time Jillian Hanson and Max Allegretti were exchanging their vows, they had already overcome more than most couples face in a lifetime. The pair became engaged on Hanson’s last day of chemo on February 28, 2018 and were treated to the wedding of their dreams free of charge on Friday, October 18.
“This hardship made us grow closer together as a couple, and that is exactly why he is my person,” said Hanson “My hair thinned and fell out, and my skin turned white as a ghost but the love of my life remained by my side. He took care of me every day and reminded me how beautiful I was,” she added.

Max traveled more than an hour each way to be with Hanson at her mother’s house, where she recovered between treatments. He also made sure to take his ailing girlfriend out to movies to normalise the situation.

But a shocked Hanson was in for one more surprise: Lauren Grech, a wedding planner whom she had met at a fund-raiser the year before, gave the couple one last treat: a pro-bono wedding. Grech secured a venue, hair and makeup services, a wedding cake, a photographer and a videographer free of charge for the New Jersey couple’s big day.
