The bride wore a white dress, black leggings, a veil and carried a bouquet of pink and purple flowers. The groom wore a tuxedo T-shirt with a boutonnière, and had to get on one knee to take pictures with his bride, who is all of 4 years old.
In less than 24-hours, the Melodies Center at Albany Medical Center in New York pulled off a "wedding" ceremony for their childhood cancer patient, Abby, who had been telling her mother all week she wanted to get married to her favorite nurse, Matt Hickling. Abby has Pre-B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, according to her Facebook page.
"We are both in awe from today's visit and smiling ear to ear," she said.
The ceremony included wedding cake, donated flowers from a local florist, Enchanted Gardens, and even a special toy car reading "Just Married" that Matt pushed Abby in before returning for photos and cake.
"This day will hopefully be one our patient and her family can always look back on and smile when days are tough!" Matt wrote on Facebook. "I know I will!"
Abby's mother thanked everyone on her Facebook page, especially, Nurse Matt.
"Blessed to have all these people in our lives," she wrote.
