In his heartwarming ESPY speech, Devon Still accepted the Jimmy V Perseverance Award in honor of his daughter Leah Still, who was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma over a year ago. And while most of his remarks were about his daughter and his family making it through the ordeal, he also made sure to thank his fiancée, Asha Joyce, for being so patient and so unselfish while they waited for Leah to heal. He told her that to honor her, he was going to give her the wedding of her dreams…she just needed to stay within the budget.

Well, it looks like budget is no longer a factor.

According to People, wedding planning website, The Knot, are financing the couple’s entire dream wedding.

TheKnot will help Devon and Asha plan every step of the process including venue, flowers, cake and her gown. But more importantly, the site will also donate money for other families battling pediatric cancers.

Just to spice things up a little bit, America will have a say in how it all goes down. Fans will be invited to vote on each and every detail of the day, including Asha’s dress.

While that might terrify some people, the couple is embracing it.

“I’ve grown a lot of trust in a lot of people throughout Leah’s battle with cancer, so I’m pretty sure they can get it right. It’s going to be interesting to see how America views us and what they think is best.”

One thing that is not up for debate or discussion, is that Leah Still will be the flower girl.

Her father said, “When we first started talking about the wedding, she made it clear she wanted it to be pink and gold because those are her favorite colors.”

Joyce said, “I love pink as well so her dress will definitely be pink!”

The couple said they look forward to the day when Leah can live as a normal little girl. Though she is now cancer free, she is still in and out of hospitals for therapy.

All in all they believe their love will sustain them through the future challenges that may arise in their lives.

“Having Asha by my side has definitely made it easier to travel down this path. Overcoming the things we’ve overcome … I’m just looking forward to what the future holds for us. We’ll make it through whatever is thrown our way.”

Those future plans just might include a little sibling for Leah.

Asha said, “She’s made it clear she wants a sister.”
