Terminally ill teen to marry high school sweetheart

This weekend 19-year-old Dustin Snyder will marry his high school sweet heart, Sierra Siverio. The urgent need to marry is a dying wish for Snyder- who is on hospice.

Since the day before his 18th birthday, Snyder has been battling synovial sarcoma.

After chemotherapy and surgery to remove the affected lung, doctors reported the cancer was gone.

Just three weeks ago, Dustin was rushed to the hospital when he started experiencing abdominal pain.

The worst had happened, his cancer had returned, taking over his stomach and pelvic area.

But now Snyder is looking forward a wedding.

He has been dating Siverio for a little over two years but the two have known each other since they were young. They dated in middle school but had lost touch until Siverio walked into the Steak and Shake that Snyder was working in and the two have been inseparable ever since.

The plan for a wedding started on Monday when Dustin’s sister Brittany Hails set up a Go Fund Me page to pay for the wedding. The page has received more than $3,000 but a wedding dress, tuxedo, photographer and even the venue, The Big Red Barn, have been donated to the couple.

LifePath Hospice is also donating the flowers and bridesmaid dresses for the wedding.

The couple is set to be married this Sunday at The Big Red Barn surrounded by friends and family.
