It has now emerged that the brave officer wed his partner Marielle while on his deathbed in a hospital in Carcassonne.
His bride wept uncontrollably as they said their prayers in the Catholic ceremony just hours before he passed away.
The couple met during a tour of an abbey in France in 2016 and had planned a church wedding for June.
Father Jean-Baptiste, the priest who carried out the moving service, said the pair had 'spent some 30 hours preparing for their marriage ceremony'.
He added: 'I gave him the sacrament of marriage, and the sacrament of the sick'.
Beltrame was an 'extremely intelligent and courageous man', he said.

RIP.
and better way for it to end than the agony of divorce, so common, like finding out my ex was screwing the pastor ....just shoot me instead OK
I can’t help but compare this to Parkland. Humility is in order.
RIP
God, receive this good man’s soul and give his family and friends peace.
I'm sorry, I missed the part where this was about you.
When is enough, enough? Lakdim had been identified as a radicalized militant and drug dealer? Why wasn't he deported or at least jailed?
“...how can this happen in a country with such strict gun control laws ?”
.
That is exactly the problem — when you have muzzies living in your country, you must arm your citizens.
May God have Mercy on his soul and give his bride peace.
Islam should be banned by all countries and the UN.
'Beltrame was a hero lieutenant-colonel who was knighted the Legion of Honor in May 2012.
The soldier was one of just a handful of candidates chosen to join the gendarmerie's elite GSIGN force in 2003.
He was deployed to Iraq in 2005, where he won a Cross for Military Valour.
Beltrame joined the Republican Guard protecting the presidential palace after returning from Iraq, and also worked as an advisor to the environment ministry.
He had been named just last year as deputy chief of the gendarmerie in the Aude.
And the courageous Frenchman was well-prepared for the terrifying situation he found himself in on Friday.'
So sad for this man’s loved ones. RIP, hero. Prayers.
What a beautiful story despite the man’s death.
Powerful....powerful....powerful!
Sad.

Or any of us, FTM. When someone is hurting the convention is not supposed to be to turn up the nose and say, “Suck it up.”OTOH I am not a counselor, and I don’t play one on the internet (let alone TV).
I hope KTM can find someone he can talk to.
so sad that he did not get to live
point I attempted to make is that there are things worse than death, but it probably came off as self centered, no need to talk to anyone, Im over it and dont care much for people I just work a stupid job and go limp home eat and go back to work, maybe get a weekend to play now and then, my apologies
"Donnez-moi, mon Dieu, ce qui vous reste.
Donnez-moi ce don't les autres ne veulent pas.
Mais donnez-moi aussi le courage
Et la force et la foi.
Car vous seul donnez, mon Dieu,
Ce que l'on ne peut attendre que de soi."
Give me, my God, what you have.
Give me what others do not want.
But also give me courage
And strength and faith.
Because only you alone can give, my God,
What I cannot expect only from myself.
