The made several follow-up videos, including one which showed an interaction between her and her dad in his hospital room.

Some had similar experiences, writing: “I got married in the hospital beside my dads bed and he passed three hours later! You looked incredibly beautiful.”

“I was married on a hospital ward because my husband was too ill to leave. He passed away 12 days later it will always be one of the hardest and best days of my life,” another shared.
