Synopsis

Even as a preschooler, Kristal was fascinated with weddings. She'd scoot the furniture to the side, line up her stuffed animal audience, then step-toe-step down the imaginary aisle in the living room. Her single mom laughed at her antics, but dreamt of the day when they'd plan her wedding for real. That planning took place on the same day Kristal's doctors said there was no hope of curing her leukemia. Not willing to give up, this single mom curled up in the hospital bed with her 16-year-old and they planned her wedding anyway. Kristal decided who would be in the wedding party and what they would wear. She imagined her wedding gown, the bridegroom and chose June 6 as her perfect wedding day. But June 6 was the day Kristal died. Kristal's Wedding is about love and grief, pain and laughter, and the faith that took root in the midst of it all. This heartwarming true story contains two $40,000 miracles, 25 unannounced gardeners, a freezer raised from the dead, and many other encouraging stories. Full of humor, hope and help, it will inspire moms of all ages to trust God to help them navigate whatever comes their way.
