"Nine months after Shannon and Jeffrey got engaged, Shannon was diagnosed with cancer and began chemotherapy immediately. &amp;quot;My oncologist had told me I would have to postpone our wedding until I was healthy,&amp;quot; she wrote on Style Me Pretty, &amp;quot;however, I knew that was not a possibility. I needed to have something amazing to look forward to, and that is just what we did.&amp;quot;  Vendors took over, and bridal boutique The Plumed Serpent fashioned a stunning lace head wrap for Shannon, to which she attached her mom&amp;#039;s veil. On the gift table, signs stated that the couple would be donating to the Wounded Warriors Project (Jeffrey is a Marine) and the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. &amp;quot;I was lucky enough to marry my Marine in his Dress Blue Alpha&amp;#039;s and he has been my side supporting me through this battle in beating cancer,&amp;quot; Shannon wrote. &amp;quot;He is an amazing husband, and I had my dream wedding come true.&amp;quot; Scroll down to see more of their inspiring nuptials.
