Yang Tao, 41, a cervical cancer patient, gets her make-up done at Huaxi No 4 Hospital in Huaxi, Southwest China's Sichuan province on Nov 20, 2010, the Huaxi Urban News reported Wednesday.

Yang fell in love with Ye Yongqing five months ago, before finding out she's at the final stage of cervical carcinoma. The two lovebirds, knowing Yang doesn't have much time left, decided to have their wedding photographs taken as a memorable way to confirm their love.
