Eventually, Karen accepted Matt's proposal but before preparations could get under way, Karen was diagnosed with Breast cancer and the surgery left her unable to have children. Matt and Karen went ahead with the wedding and decided to look for a surrogate mother. Kelly Hurst, the lesbian niece of local resident Sadie Hargreaves offered to be the surrogate mother for Matt and Karen.
