Laura and Jack on their wedding day yesterday, April 16, at the Torbay Hospital Chapel . Laura with Jack in hospital, where she sat by his side for more than a year . Friends, family, and hospital stuff rushed to plan the pair's dream wedding, and Laura and Jack got married in Torbay Hospital Chapel just six days after the heartbreaking news - and Ed Sheeran even sent them a personal video. In it he said: 'Hope you have an amazing wedding. And drink a lot, dance a lot and have a lot of sex. You should be doing that. awkward laughter. And, yes, have a wonderful time - see you soon.' The couple first met at school as teenagers but it wasn't until 2012 when Jack worked in Laura's local corner shop that their relationship blossomed. Jack underwent gruelling rounds of chemotherapy after being diagnosed two years ago, but it failed to stop cancer from spreading into his bone marrow. He is hoping to spend his final weeks at home surrounded by close family, his wife and her two-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, Lilly. Laura added: 'As soon as Jack told me that doctors could not offer him any further treatment I turned to him and said 'we need to get married. 'He proposed to me in January but we thought we had our whole lives to plan our wedding day. 'When he was given just weeks to live we had no time to wait, I'm so happy that I can call Jack my husband now, we are soul mates and it seemed like the perfect thing to do. In 2013, Jack knew there was something wrong when he started to feel tired and achy all the time - a blood test confirmed he had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia . At the time Laura was due to give birth to Lilly and needed to focus on her, but the pair kept in touch . 'I surprised Jack by wearing a traditional white wedding dress after I told him I was wearing a smart suit. 'He couldn't stop smiling when he saw me walking down the aisle, I felt like a princess. 'Our wedding day was amazing, we will never forget, it was the happiest day of our lives.' Laura was distraught when Jack broke the news that his treatment wasn't working and he had just weeks to live. She added: 'Jack has undergone so much chemotherapy in the past two years but despite being briefly in remission this year, his leukaemia returned. 'When he told me it was terminal last Friday I thought I would at least have a year with Jack before he died but when he told me he had just weeks left I was in complete shock. 'We had made so many plans for the future and Jack just kept saying "I'm so sorry" as he knew he could no longer be here to fulfil them with me. When Lilly was six-months-old Laura drove two hours to see Jack at Bristol Hospital . After nine months of being inseparable the pair decided to start a relationship in February 2014 . They often had date nights where they would order Dominoes and watch films . Leukaemia affects a person's white blood cells. White blood cells are the important infection-fighting part of the immune system, made in your bone marrow. Patients with leukaemia produce an abnormal number of immature white blood cells which 'clog up' their bone marrow. This stops bone marrow making other blood cells, which are vital for a balanced immune system and healthy blood. Acute leukaemia comes on suddenly, progesses quickly and needs to be treated urgently. Chronic leukaemia develops more slowly, over months or years. Common treatments for leukaemia include chemotherapy, radiotherapy or a bone marrow transplant. It is predicted that 48 per cent of men and 44 per cent of women will survive the disease for ten years or more. 'I'm completely heartbroken but I find my strength in him, I need to make sure his last few weeks are the best ones of his life. 'There is nothing more he wanted than to become my husband so I'm really happy that I was able to fulfil that wish for him.' Laura wore a floor length white wedding dress that was fitted by her mother, Jenny Cant, 47, who works in bridal store, Jane's. The registrar was provided for free by the Torbay Hospital Chapel and Lilly was their flower girl. Laura added: 'The day was perfect, Jack was determined to walk on his wedding day despite being completely exhausted due to cancer treatment. 'He had some oxygen before the ceremony began so he was able to smile for some treasured pictures without feeling as though he looked unwell. 'We both love one another so much that it was lovely to see him looking so happy despite knowing he has just weeks to live.' Laura first met Jack when they were at school but it wasn't until years later while Laura was pregnant that their relationship blossomed. She said: 'I was always popping down to my local corner shop for one craving or another but when I noticed Jack worked there I started going daily. 'I knew the minimum spend on a debit card was five-pounds so I purposely never took cash so I could take longer choosing things in the shop that would equal over that amount. 'Me and Jack would always have a little chat and he worked every day he could but one day when I walked in I noticed a charity bucket on the till for him, it read 'help poorly Jack.' Laura surprised Jack by wearing a traditional white wedding dress after telling him she would wear a suit . There is nothing more Jack wanted than to become Laura's husband, so she's delighted to have been able to fulfil that wish for him . 'I was devastated when I realised he had blood cancer, he had kept it to himself as he didn't want me to worry.' Jack knew there was something wrong when he started to feel tired and achy all the time - a blood test confirmed he had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Laura said: 'At the time I was due to give birth to Lilly and I needed to focus on my daughter but we kept in touch in Facebook but I missed seeing him terribly. 'When Lilly was just six-months-old I drove two hours to see him at Bristol Hospital. 'He was so happy that I remembered him and he was completely overwhelmed to see us both.' Laura has been at Jack's side ever since and after nine-months of being inseparable the pair decided to start a relationship in February 2014. Laura says they feel like the happiest couple in the world to have got married, but wish they had longer . When Laura found out about Jack's condition she was due to give birth to Lilly so needed to focus on her . Laura was over the moon when he proposed two months ago while he was in hospital . She said: 'Jack has spent the majority of our relationship in hospital as he needs constant transfusions and chemo to stay alive but I have always made the best of our time together. 'We often had date nights where we would order dominoes and watch films.' Laura was over the moon when he proposed two months ago while he was in hospital - it was a dream come true. Laura said: 'We had wanted to wait until Jack got better before we got married but that was no longer an option, it was now or never and I can't imagine my life without being Jack's wife. 'I'm so happy we will be spending our final few weeks as a family, there's nothing more important than ensuring he feels comfortable and content in his final few weeks. 'We feel like the happiest couple in the world to have got married but we just wish we had longer together.' Jack added: 'Marrying Laura is something I have wanted to do for a long time, I'm so happy and proud to call her my wife. 'I love Laura and Lilly more than anything and I hope to create as many memories as possible in my final weeks. 'We want to say a big thank you to everyone who made our wedding day possible. After the ceremony, Jack and Laura were stunned to discover that their music idol Ed Sheeran had sent them a personalised video greeting from New Zealand.

You should be doing that. awkward laughter. And, yes, have a wonderful time - see you soon.' Laura said: 'We were told after the signing of the registers that Ed Sheeran had sent a video. 'Apparently if he had more notice he would have been there for us. He was on holiday in New Zealand and still took time out to do it. 'I was in total shock. The whole chapel gasped in unison as soon as it was announced. 'We are both huge fans. His awkwardness is hilarious to us, but he's our age and proof to never give up. 'We were devastated because I bought Jack tickets for our anniversary in February to go and see him at Wembley in July and now we obviously can't go. 'The tickets will eventually arrive and Jack won't be here.' The video was arranged through Jack's social worker Suzie Holmes from CLIC Sargent.
