3-year-old serves as flower girl in her bone marrow donor’s wedding

Last month, a little girl named Skye Savren-McCormick got to be the flower girl in her bone marrow donor’s wedding.

According to CNN, stricken to childhood cancer, Skye’s doctors gave her a 10% chance to live, saying she needed a bone marrow transplant to survive.

When the time finally came, she got one..from a stranger — Hayden Hatfield Ryals, who later invited Skye to be the flower girl in her wedding.

CNN reports Skye is in currently in remission, but those who were able to attend the ceremony the day of the wedding say they’ll never forget it.

“There wasn’t a dry eye in the room,” said wedding photographer Jeannie Broadway to CNN. “You could even hear sobs from people.”

To prepare for the big event, Skye spent a lot of time practicing. She practiced walking with a little flower-girl basket in her living room.

When the big day came, Skye dropped little fistful of petals down the isle of her donor’s special day.

Wedding guests say they could barely keep it together.

CNN reports Skye has been fighting cancer her entire life that required her to get blood and platelet transfusion almost every day. She was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called juvenile myelomonacytic leukemia.

After 10 months of treatments in the hospital, Skye needed a bone marrow transplant and fast. That’s when she, luckily, met her perfect match — 26-year-old Rylas.

Rylas told CNN, she had signed up to be a bone marrow donor in college and just changed her major, not sure of what she wanted to do.

Feeling a bit lost, Rylas said she had always considered donating marrow or blood and decided to register.

A year later, she found out she was a match for Skye. This, she said, gave her purpose again.

“That changed everything,” Ryals told CNN. “It became my number-one priority from that point on.”
