I had cancer on my wedding day

By Crystal Brown-Tatum

Have you ever thought you were "all that?" Untouchable? Invincible? On top of the world? That's how I felt on my wedding day. I was a successful single mother and Houston entrepreneur with several major awards under my belt, an Ebony magazine top bachelorette and had reconnected with my college sweetheart after a sixteen year hiatus.

As I flip through my wedding album, all of the details are a blur. I
don't notice the flowers or the detailed cake. What I cherish is the
genuine smile on my face which reflects the love in my heart for so

inside me.
