TGIF FEATURE: On the day he was supposed to get married, groom was buried

SOLOMON CHAU was supposed to get married to Jennifer Carter on August 22, 2015. Instead, it was the day he was buried.

You could view this story as a tragic tale, but you can also choose to see it as a story about true love. It's also about Toronto, a city which rallied around a couple to surprise Solomon and Jenn with a lavish wedding.

After being diagnosed with cancer in December, 2014, Solomon thought he had licked the disease after a surgery. In March of this year, Solomon was given the news about cancer's return. The doctors said he wouldn't live to see his wedding day.

The Toronto couple decided to go through the matrimonial ceremonies anyway. They bumped up their wedding date. Friends and family started a GoFundMe campaign which raised over $50,000 in just three days. Expensive wedding vendors (such as the makers of this video, Boundless Weddings) donated their services and the reception was held in Toronto's picturesque Casa Loma castle. 

Although they knew the date of their wedding, the couple were kept in the dark about all the details including the glamorous reception. Bridesmaids did a short reprise of Solomon's flashmob dance proposal. Everyone smiled.

The wedding video released by Boundless Weddings is trending on social media sites.

Solomon and Jenn were married for 128 love-filled glorious days. You already know the end of the story. Click here for the whole story at upworthy.com.

Sol is survived by his wife, Jennifer Carter, and his family has asked for any donations to be made to the Tim Horton's Children's Foundation or Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care.
