This couple gets married at the ICU in front of the bride's dying father
We received the news less than a month ago, that my dads cancer had came back. And it came back with a vengeance. The cancer had taken over his lungs, and he is not responding to chemo. Knowing we exhausted every hope, we planned a wedding in the ICU in less than 30 min. It was the most beautiful, bittersweet moment of my life. My dad got to see his baby girl get married, and it meant the world to me that he was able to see it. Shortly after the wedding, my dad wanted to stop the life support. He’s still with us, and if you could continue praying for my family, I would so greatly appreciate it. Special thanks to the nursing staff at St. Vincent ICU, and my friends and family for making this all possible.
Here is the full story:
My fried, Nalen asked if I would be willingly to get married in the ICU, so my dad would be there. Jared and I were originally suppose to be married in October. My family friends rushed today get me a dress at a local bridal store, because mine wouldn’t be here until February. Jared is wearing a colts jersey, because him and my father have always joked about a colts themed wedding. They are both huge colts fans. We called our pastor ( pastor Jeff) and asked if he could come to the hospital ASAP to marry us. It was a surprise to my dad. He didn’t know we were going to get married in the ICU. Once my family friends came back with the dress they found I out it on and my friends dad who I’ve been close to since I was 5 walked me to my dads room. It was very emotional, and bittersweet. But I wouldn’t change it for the world. We just want to thank social media for the kind words and prayers that have been given to us. And also the staff at st. Vincent Evansville for everything they did. He is now home in hospice care. We are praying for a miracle
