Former Bachelorette star Katie Thurston and comedian Jeff Arcuri have tied the knot. The couple announced their marriage on social media on March 23, just weeks after Thurston revealed her breast cancer diagnosis.
According to Us Weekly, they exchanged vows in a small backyard wedding on March 22, with only their parents and newly adopted puppy, Charlie in attendance. The intimate ceremony was followed by a celebratory dinner in New York City.
Preparing for Cancer Treatment

Thurston has been undergoing IVF treatments with Arcuri to create embryos before beginning her cancer therapy. She is set to take part in the I-Spy breast cancer trial, which could include multiple rounds of chemotherapy before surgery, as reported by People.
