Guests Have Tears In Eyes While Bride Dances With Terminally Ill Brother At Wedding

Dec 18, 2018 by apost team

Siblings Cesiah and Alex are best friends. They are also brother and sister. Cesiah is 21 years old and her brother is 17. Cesiah stated that she and her brother are super close. Their bond has been made stronger than the usual sibling bond due to Alex’s multiple debilitating illnesses. In fact, it remains a miracle that Alex has lived this long.

When Alex was only 18 months old he was diagnosed with the rare disorder ataxia telangiectasia. Ataxia telangiectasia progresses steadily over, and multiple body systems become affected by the disease. In many cases, an individual with this disorder becomes wheelchair-bound and dies in their teens.

This condition also causes other physical issues including cancer, as their immune system becomes compromised.

When Alex was three, he was told by doctors that he had leukemia and only had a 10 percent chance of survival. He beat this diagnosis at least somewhat because he received so much love and support from the family members around him as well as because of medical treatment.

When she became engaged in 2017, Cesiah promised her brother that they would dance together at her wedding.

Initially, the brother and sister duo were to dance with Alex in the wheelchair. But on the wedding day, Cesiah decided to carry her brother to dance with him instead.

Cesiah picked up her brother, and the two danced around the dance floor. The new bride stated that she was as excited about the ecstatic reaction from the guests at the wedding and that she’d remember the dance as much as the wedding vows in the years to come.
