But it wasnโt just for any dress; she was searching for her perfect wedding gown.

Janetโs late-stage love story is incredibly inspiring.
After facing challenges such as battling colon cancer and the loss of her beloved husband, she never lost hope.
โI met my late husband when I was 15. 16 years ago, he took his life,โ she recalls.
I was diagnosed with colon cancer and I had a battle with that. And I got a blood clot in my lung and I didnโt think Iโd be sitting here today.
I had Danielle, I took Danielle in. Well, she left and gradually, I got lonelier and lonelier,โ Janet explained.
Fate brought her together with a remarkable man.
He also happens to be 20 years younger than her at 60 years old.
Their bond grew stronger each day, bridging the gap between their pasts and creating something truly magical.
