FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — A Georgia woman diagnosed with a rare form of cancer wants nothing more than to
[ marry the father of her four children ]
— but so far that hasn’t been a possibility
Gillilan and Andrew Hendrickson have a 4-year-old daughter and triplets.
.
Aubri Gillilan told Atlanta's WSB-TV that she can't get married because county officials insist she come into their office to fill out the form for the marriage license.
"The kids keep asking, 'When is Daddy going to marry Mommy?' And I don't know what to tell them," Hendrickson told WSB-TV. "I told them I was working on it."
The terminally ill woman said it's not fair that she can't get a marriage license without physically being at the Fulton County South Annex. Her malignant melanoma prevents her from leaving home, WSB-TV reported.
"I told them she was under hospice care, bedridden. She wasn't able to come," he said.
Officials still refused to give him a license.
Fulton County Probate Judge Pinkie Toomer said it's difficult to send a worker to someone's home because of security issues, but she told WSB-TV that she's looking into the case.
Gillilan said the marriage license would mean the world to her.
"This is the best thing I can have," she said. "There's no way for me to walk down the aisle."
