The Daily Mail said 23-year-old Kayleigh Duff was told a hereditary gene defect had developed into terminal liver cancer last February.
The disease is the same one that her father, Lee, died from in 1998 at the age of 37.
Since being diagnosed, Kayleigh drew up a bucket list of things she wanted to do before she died, including getting married.
However, despite not having a partner, her best friend Katie Birch organised a big day for her – and called in a model to play the role of the groom.
Hair and make-up artists pampered the mother-of-one before she was taken to Whitstable Castle in Kent in a vintage Jaguar. Waiting for her there, was model Danny Whisker who had been booked for the day to play the role of the groom, and as Kayleigh posed for photographs, the guests were treated to champagne and wedding cake.
Speaking about her 'big day', she said: "The groom was so nice and was really handsome. It was a bit awkward at first because obviously it's a bizarre situation – I couldn't stop laughing.
"I didn't expect any of it, it was mad. It really was a dream come true. It was great. The dress was beautiful – it really was. The castle and everything were just beautiful."
Guests at the 'wedding' included Kayleigh's mum Beverley, 46, grandparents Sharon, 70, and Ian Day, 71, and two-year-old son, Kai.
Kayleigh suffers from a rare hereditary genetic disorder called Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), which causes polyps to grow on the large intestine, increasing the risk of developing cancer. She was first diagnosed with cancer last June and doctors operated on her to remove the growths, but in February, follow-up tests revealed the illness had spread to her bloodstream.
