The Albany Medical Center Hospital in New York gave a 4-year-old girl the experience of a lifetime. The little girl, Abby, is battling Pre-B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancers which is where she was given a proper wedding.

This little patient walked down a rose petal aisle with her nurses as bridesmaids and her hospital hubby was no other than her favorite Nurse, Matt Hickling. Hickling dressed for the occasion in a tuxedo t-shirt and scrubs.

Lori Ciafardoni published a Facebook post thanking those who donated time and flowers and the hospital staff for pulling off a day to remember for a special little girl in less than 24 hours. Watch the video below to see the ceremony.
