Once Kelly, Becky Turney’s fiance, paused their wedding ceremony for a very exceptional gift, she was left amazed. Becky’s late son, Triston, was not actually present at the ritual but his heart was. Triston pass away at the age of 19 suddenly in 2015.
Becky’s groom had planned the surprise for the very first time, providing her the chance to meet Jacob Kilby, the young man carrying Triston’s heart.
Kelly said that he initiated organising her surprise with Jacob about four to five months before and added that Jacob is a wonderful gentleman. He said that they inspire everybody to turn out to be an organ donor as it saves lives and altered theirs incessantly.
I knew about this surprise but nothing prepares you for the beauty of this moment. I met a man named Jacob Kilby…

Becky also caught Triston’s heartbeat on the day, holding a stethoscope to Jacob’s torso in the heartening image. Sharing the experience, Jacob said that it’s been so idealistic, gratifying and extremely adoring.
Jacob added that largely, it has been all love and two families linking together. Becky and he continue in touch and he in fact still in Alaska visiting here now.
Becky wrote on her Facebook that her nuptial day was the greatest day of her lifetime.
One amazingly beautiful #weddingbridesurprise! ❤️ CONGRATULATIONS Becky & Kelly Turney

While speaking to Jacob, Becky said that it was the utmost astounding surprise forever and express her gratitude for caring Triston’s heart and said thank you for being in the ceremony.
An vacant chair had been set aside at the ceremony for Triston with a message. The emotional message read as – “I’m in heaven for your wedding, so what shall I do? I’ll come down to Earth to spend it with you. So save me a seat, just one empty chair. You may not see me, but I will be there.”
The pictures from the marriage were broadly shared online and moved the hearts of other donor families.
One Facebook user said thank you to Becky and expressed her gratitude for giving life to other families. The user further wrote that she is a mother of a young son who received a heart transplant.
The Facebook user further wrote that she is so very sad that Becky lost her son. She continued that she really cannot say in words what it means that Becky decides on to give life and hopefulness to others when her own world was falling down.
She concluded and said thank you, from one mother to another.
