A Swanscombe cancer patient is all set to celebrate the first Valentine's Day with his wife - after getting married in his living room three months ago.
Brian and Linda Nunn dismissed their dreams of marriage when Mr Nunn was diagnosed with cancer in 2012.
Last year, he became a patient at ellenor hospice in Coldharbour Road, Northfleet - where the pair, who have been together for 16 years, found their very own fairy godmothers.

Mrs Nunn said: "We were talking to Lesley from the ellenor community team one day about how we’d always planned to get married and how it seemed like an impossible dream now Brian was so ill – and she simply said ‘leave it with me'.
"I was amazed, as I had no idea that ellenor could do something like that."
The couple's hope of a traditional church wedding was dashed as the groom was too sick to be moved to a conventional venue - so the hospice community team approached Reverend Elizabeth Chapman about marrying the loved-up duo in their living room.

The happy couple married on Saturday November 7 in front of 30 family and friends - after getting special permission from the Archbishop’s faculty office and the Diocesan Bishop of Rochester.
The blushing bride said: "I hardly recognised our lounge – it looked like a real venue.
"I can’t thank Rev Liz and the team at ellenor enough for their help to make our wedding day so special.
"They went out of their way to make our dreams come true."
