Facebook friends fund dying groom's $30,000 wedding

4/4/2012

The future looked bleak for Tom Cooper, 25, who's terminally ill with throat cancer, but on Valentine's Day, he proposed to Tammy, 23, his long-term girlfriend and the mother of his two little girls. With no money for a big bash, the couple put together a "Help Tom Cooper & Tammy Dale get their dream wedding" Facebook page and posted a YouTube video telling their story. The bucks came pouring in, and today the couple will wed in a lavish $30,000 ceremony.

In addition to the donated venue, wedding cake, and horse and carriage, well-wishers have posted tons of other offers, including a chocolate fountain, wedding photography and chair covers - a heartwarming public reaction we definitely "Like."
