WAKE FOREST, N.C. -

Eight years after Christine Linn met the love of her life Robert McArthur, they finally made their way down the aisle.

"I'm excited! Finally yeah! We made it to the finish line," Linn said.

Chrissy and Bob, as their family calls them, met while working in a restaurant up North. Now, one little boy later and a battle with terminal cancer, they tied the knot.

Everything was donated by the Association of Catering Executives and local businesses.

"This is a dream come true; I couldn't have done this myself. It's so lavish, way over the top," Linn said.

Her new husband Robert McArthur agrees.

"It was such a great experience for us," McArthur said.

The ceremony took place at the Sutherland in Wake Forest, packed with family and friends. They said this wedding means a lot to their six year old son they have together and Chrissy's two older children.

"I think it shows how much we all love each other," Linn said.

Chrissy's mother Sheri Mendelsohn said it gives the kids hope.

"It's a hard for the kids because they know they're mother is sick. This gives them security to know there is a community that loves them and that they have a dad."

After the ceremony, the couple danced the night away. To top it all off, they enjoyed their cake that was shaped like a castle. Chrissy said it was a night fit for a princess.

"Total fairytale...like Cinderella. It's really great," Linn said.

But Chrissy said she has one favorite part of the whole night.

"Finally, I get to be called a McArthur. I waited a long time but it was worth the wait," Linn said.
