Two teen newlyweds were faced with a terrible prospect when the groom was diagnosed with terminal cancer. A few months after the wedding, someone paid them a visit to share a prayer with them: none other than the former NFL star Tim Tebow.

Doctors had told 18-year-old Chase Smith that his Ewing’s sarcoma (a type of bone cancer) had spread and that he had just months to live. This prompted him and his school sweetheart, Sadie, to tie the knot, and they were married on April 29, according to the Indianapolis Star.
