Lee Bransden and Sandra Yates are a loving couple of eight years. And as of Saturday, they are wife and wife.

But the road to their wedding wasn't easy. The couple live in Australia, where same-sex marriage hasn't been made legal.

And they didn't have time to wait for reform. Lee has end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and just weeks to live.

For Sandra and Lee, both on the pension, an overseas trip to get married was financially out of the question.
The pair had lost their life savings in a property investment, and recently sold their camper van to prepay for Lee's funeral.
