“He’s not going to be alone,” Lindsay Law says of her husband Will. “He has me now.”

Mere weeks before his wedding day last fall, Florida man Will Law’s doctor told him the unthinkable: he had an aggressive brain tumor.

Will, 39, worried not just about his health, but also whether an imminent surgery might impact his memories of the couple’s big day. Still, his surgeon said Will and his then-fiancée Lindsay Hodgdon, of St. Petersburg, Florida, should move forward with the Nov. 5 nuptials before surgery on Nov. 17.

When Will emerged from the operation, he was thrilled that his fear hadn’t become reality.

“It was a perfect day,” Law says of their wedding, grateful that those happy moments are still fresh in his mind.

Will met Lindsay when the two were bartenders at a brewery in 2017. Hours after meeting, they stayed up all night talking to each other, learning the ins and outs of their lives. They’ve been together every day since.
