TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A Tampa bride-to-be who defied doctors'expectations after being told she had a year to live four years ago
celebrated another victory - she and her fiancee won a $100,000
dollar dream wedding.
Courtney Dempsey and Gary Courtney were among 40,000 couples who entered US Magazine's wedding contest. The prize includes a dress
and honeymoon.
Dempsey was diagnosed with late-stage melanoma four years ago
and doctors told her she had less than a year to live. She survived
beyond that and began dating Courtney. But soon after, doctors said
she needed a double mastectomy.
The couple is planning a September wedding.
As for her married name, Dempsey says she'll follow tradition
and take her groom's name, meaning she'll go by Courtney Courtney.
