British couple Elizabeth Kerr and Simon O'Brien had been planning to marry in June. Then COVID-19 struck.

MILTON KEYNES, England - British couple Elizabeth Kerr and Simon O’Brien had been planning to marry in June. Then COVID-19 struck.

Kerr and O’Brien became so ill that medical staff scrambled to organize a wedding before it was too late. When O’Brien’s condition got even worse, it was decided he should be transferred to the intensive care unit .“They told me that we wouldn’t be able to get married after all, because they were going to have to intubate Simon and put him under,” Kerr recalled.

As staff across the hospital rushed to secure a wedding licence, O’Brien’s health worsened and doctors decided to move him to the ICU, reserved for the sickest patients, where he could receive mechanical ventilation. “With lots of teamwork ... we were able to give them a wedding, not necessarily the wedding that they would have initially intended, but certainly something positive, remarkable and memorable for them to really hold on to,” Cannon said.Sitting next to each other and clutching hands after his partial recovery, the couple believe their survival was down to the staff’s quick thinking.
