“When I was younger, I loved to dress up and always hoped that I would one day be able to do my own wedding shoot when I got married,” Chen told news outlet BuzzFeed.

“And so I waited, but then I got sick again...that was when I finally decided that this was something I needed to do.”

Chen adds that she will travel to Bali with her mum for a "honeymoon" later on this year.

“I couldn’t have known that stage four cancer was waiting for me, but I’m making the most of the limited time we all have,” she said.

Mashable has reached out to Q May Chen for comment.
