A dream wedding wish comes true for a dying 9 year-old girl in Texas.  Read more on little Jayla Cooper and see video of her dream wedding below.


Friends and family joined together at Paradise Cove, on the shore of Lake Grapevine in Texas to celebrate the dream wedding, a dying wish for Jayla Cooper.

The 9 year-old bride, Jayla, was said to be very excited about her big day!

The  young bride and groom met at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas two years ago and became friends.

“He knows what’s going on,” said Charla Griggs, Jose’s mother. “He understands that she is going to a better place.”

Jose’s parents said Jayla helped their son with his own battle with the illness.

“He’s brighter, happier and more content with all that they go through in the hospital,” said Lawrence Griggs, Jose’s father. “She changed that, brought it all out and opened up a side of him I hadn’t seen.”

Jayla Cooper has been battling leukemia for two years now, and has been told she only has a few weeks left to live.

    Because Susan, maybe this is her way of being having fun….who wouldn’t want something as beautiful as a wedding with everyone praising you.
    She was probably tired of everyone crying over her because she is dying. So Susan how about you let her live her life the way she wants and pray she makes it.

    What this site did not emphasize that other sites carrying the story did was that the kids had a “friendship” ceremony where they pledged to be friends for life
