Bride With Terminal Cancer Dies Hours After Home Wedding

Hospice coordinators and friends enabled an at-home ceremony, with fundraising now helping the couple's five children.

Overview

  • Jade Tabrar, 37, married her partner of 19 years, Adam Kemp, at their Milton Keynes home at 2 p.m. on November 3 and died at 10:45 p.m. the same day.
  • The couple had planned a 2026 anniversary wedding but brought it forward after doctors in September said Jade likely had about three months to live.
  • Willen Hospice staff and friends organized urgent paperwork, a registrar visit, a cake and a small gathering so the ceremony could proceed at home.
  • Jade’s stomach cancer was diagnosed in August 2023 and rapidly advanced from Stage 2 to Stage 4 while she awaited treatment, with later spread to her womb and ovaries.
  • Adam has left his job to care for their five children as friends raise funds on GoFundMe, increasing the target to £4,000 with about £2,000 reported raised.
