Couple's arranged marriage turned into 19-year 'love story'

[...] it seems the thing that will end what they call "our great love story," is cancer, after David was diagnosed with terminal and inoperable stage IV colon cancer.

On Friday, they will return to the same spot where they were married at the Mall of America to renew their vows — an event that will double as a fundraiser for the Angel Foundation, which has helped their family and countless others suffering from cancer with financial help and free camps for children.

David told nosy relatives and friends he would be married June 13, 1998, never mind the unknown bride.

"Finding a good partner for life is about working with people as they are, not insisting that ... people have to be the perfect person for you," David said.

[...] Bethy can't help but cry as she pictures the unfulfilled future she had drawn up for them: building an empty nest when their youngest child leaves home or road trips on a motorcycle together.
