Jose Guzman, Hailey’s grandfather, whom she referred to as her “papa,” was battling cancer. Amidst preparing for her wedding, the family soon discovered that her papa’s days were numbered. Because his cancer had spread “from his prostate into his liver and spine.” Moreover, the chemotherapy treatment was no longer effective.
Wedding In ICU
For months, Hailey and her fiancé Ethan planned to have their wedding in May. However, after receiving the heartbreaking news, the couple decided to move their wedding as soon as possible. Hailey wanted her papa to witness the best day of her life. She wanted him to be by her side on her wedding day. And if she waited until May, that dream wouldn’t be realized.
“I don’t know what I would’ve done if I didn’t have him there,” Hailey said in tears in an interview. “I would’ve just walked myself with his hat. It just, like, broke me, and I was thinking in my head, ‘He has to get out of here, because he has to be there.'”
As a result, with the help of kindhearted staffs members at Logan Health Medical Center, the couple had their wedding at the hospital. They initiated the event in an ICU room where Hailey’s grandfather is a patient.
So, on March 25, 2022, Hailey and Ethan got married, with Hailey’s papa as one of the witnesses.
