A young leukaemia patient has 'married' her favourite male nurse in an adorable mock wedding.
Staff at the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancers at Albany Medical Center, New York, treated four-year-old Abby to the ceremony. The floor was covered in rose petals and the groom, Matt Hickling, wore a tuxedo t-shirt with scrubs.
Staff organised the event in 12 hours, after Abby, who is battling acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, told her mum that she was going to marry Matt.
They spared no detail, providing ring pops for wedding bands, and a pink toy car with a 'Just Married!' sign for the happy couple to scoot off in.
The groom said on his Facebook page, "This day will hopefully be one our patient and her family can always look back on and smile when days are tough. I know I will!"
Fellow nurse Lori Ciafardoni posted the adorable video to Facebook, saying, "THIS is why we go into nursing."
The blushing bride reportedly told her mother, "This is the best day ever!"
Abby's mum also wrote on her Facebook page documenting Abby's journey, "We are so blessed to have these amazing people in our lives. Thankful for them every day."
