HARTFORD -- The Connecticut Children's Medical Center will host a wedding November 30, for a 26 year-old cancer patient and his fiancée.

Jonathan Sales, a seventh grade science teacher in Oakville, was diagnosed for the second time in his life with cancer. He was previously diagnosed with  Chronic Myeloid Leukemia when he was 13.

Sales and fiancée, Alyssa Griffin, were actually planning to get in a more conventional setting including a 2020 save-the date at a professional venue. Due to the recent diagnosis and recovery not guaranteed, the two have decided to tie the knot as soon as possible.
