    Katie Thurston and Jeff Arcuri have got married

    The 'Bachelorette' star announced last month that she'd been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and the comic wanted to show a "sweet sentiment of being there" for her by tying the knot ahead of her starting new treatment on Thursday (27.03.25)


    Speaking to Us Weekly magazine last week, Katie was asked how her diagnosis had affected their relationship and said: "You would think it would cause more tribulation or problems between you, but it's bonded us more than anything else, which is why we're moving up the wedding a little bit. ... We're getting married in two days.

    "It was so sweet. Obviously, we were wanting to plan a wedding and there's a lot of emotions that come in with chemo and the impact and the health and we don't know what the next year looks like.

    "And one night he said, 'I want to show you that I still love you and that I'm here to stay. I'll get married to you tomorrow.' We flew our parents in from Michigan and Washington State. We got our marriage license and a friend is just gonna marry us."

    The couple tied the knot at home on Saturday (22.03.25) in front of their parents and dog Charlie, and though they enjoyed a celebratory dinner afterwards, they are planning on a bigger wedding once Katie has completed her treatment.

    She said: "It was this kind gesture of him saying, truly, in sickness and in health.

    "He is proving that he's here to stay. He shows up every day and he does it in ways that just continue to surprise."

    Jeff added: "I want to be able to be in the hospital with her and just be like, 'My wife's in there.' There's more power to that. I don't want to be not with you for any of this."

    Katie will be part of the I-Spy breast cancer trial, which aims for personalised treatment based on a patient's tumour and could involve several rounds of chemotherapy before surgery.

    Before beginning her treatment, the 34-year-old reality star underwent fertility treatment at RMA of New York.

    She said: "Chemo does impact your reproductive health. It does raise the risk of you not being able to conceive.

    " Knowing that we wanted kids in the future, we thought, 'OK, let's do IVF just to have that option.' We dedicated two weeks before doing anything else breast cancer-wise to doing IVF.

    "RMA was amazing. I don't want to say they specialise in Oncofertility, but they understand - and all that really means is taking care of patients who have cancer who also wanna do IVF.

    "[Some] doctors almost frown upon it or they want to put fear in you and say, 'No, you need to take care of this cancer.' So a lot of women don't even realise that you can take 10 days to dedicate time to your reproductive health and your future family plans. We were able to retrieve 17 eggs and of those 17, six became embryos."
