Indeed, despite having leukemia, nothing kept her from smiling and enjoying life.

At the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer, a clinic in Albany, the girl lights up even more whenever she sees the charming Matt Hickling. He's the nurse who comes every day to give her treatment, but over time, he also became her best friend. So, in getting to know him, the girl secretly fell in love and told her mother that the next time she sees him, she'll put a ring on his finger.

But they didn't count on Matt's quick thinking. Actually, when learning about his young patient's plans, the young man, with the help of his colleagues, organized the wedding for the next day, in order to bring a little happiness to Abby's life.

For the occasion, Abby was given a white dress and her husband wore a black shirt imprinted with a tuxedo on the front of it.

At the end of the ceremony, the 'young newlyweds' exchanged Ring Pops and enjoyed cake with their guests.

Here's what the young nurse had to say: 'Abby and her parents will remember this day for a long time and look back and smile when days are tough. I know I will.'

In addition, he offered a gift to his young patient.
