Natasha had always dreamed of getting married, so she was thrilled when her boyfriend of four years, Scott, proposed by dressing their two-year-old daughter, Evie-Mae in a babygrow emblazoned with the words ‘Mummy, will you marry Daddy?’. Within two months, she had picked her dress and selected nine bridesmaids. But just three months before her dream wedding, Natasha contracted the deadly blood infection, sepsis. Luckily, NHS call handler Natasha recognised the symptoms – including a fever, fatigue and disorientation – and an ambulance was promptly called to rush her to hospital. There, Natasha was put in an induced coma as doctors battled to save her life. Her devastated fiance and family were warned that she may not survive. Thankfully, Natasha pulled through and last month she walked down the aisle. She said: “Almost dying made my day so much more special. It was everything I had always dreamed of.”
Natasha’s inspiring story appeared on the Mirror and Mail Online.
