"Why should I give up on my dream just because I didn't have a groom?
"We decided the day would be a "celebration of me" and that I'd wear a white frock with Riley as my pageboy," she told that's life magazine.

Natalie's issues started in November 2014 when she started to feel sick after eating and very soon was unable to keep her food down.
After series of tests, doctors found a large mass in her oesophagus close to her stomach which was cancerous. The disease had spread to her liver too.
Her condition was terminal and left untreated Ms Adams would have just one or two months but chemotherapy would prolong her life by a year, Daily Mail reports.
Adam's wish is to live long enough to see Riley's second birthday

"I've already bought his 21st birthday present - a Saint Christopher to watch over him," she told that's life.
The bride plans to leave diaries, photographs and letters to help him get to know her as he grows.
"Now I just want to cherish the joy in each day with the people I love," she said.
