Parents wed so dying boy can be best man

A two-year-old US boy with only weeks to live will serve as best man when his parents wed this weekend.

Sean Stevenson and Christine Swidorsky had planned to wed next year, but decided to move the ceremony to Saturday so Logan, who has leukaemia and other complications, could participate.

“We want Logan in our family pictures, and we want him to see his mother and dad get married,” Ms Swidorsky said.

Logan has Fanconi anaemia, a rare disease that often causes cancer. He was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia at 14 months old and had a stem cell transplant a year ago.

But last week, doctors told the couple from Jeannette, Pennsylvania, he would live only two to three weeks more.
