GULFPORT, Miss. A Mississippi man was able to marry his sweetheart of 17 years just days before dying from COVID-19-related complications.
Jeff and Sherry got engaged in December and had talked about wedding dates before the coronavirus took over their lives.
But as WLOX reports, the couple traded a small chapel wedding for a ceremony in a Memorial Hospital room in Gulfport.
It wasn t what we had in mind, said Sherry Nabors. It was beautiful. It was beautiful and it was so touching and it was so perfect.
The hospital chaplain, Martin Gilliland knew the couple was engaged and suggested that a bedside wedding would be possible.
