British couple Elizabeth Kerr and Simon O’Brien had been planning to marry in June. Then COVID-19 came for them. Both contracted the disease and were suffering from severe symptoms. They were rushed to Milton Keynes University Hospital in the same ambulance when, respectively, their oxygen levels fell dangerously low.

Elizabeth and Simon became so ill that the 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 (ICU).

Even that did not stop them: staff delayed his intubation just long enough for them to get married. "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," Elizabeth recalled. "But they held off for another hour. And he just, just rallied in that time, just long enough for us to get married."
