Cancer patient with uncertain future marries fiancée in hospital ward transformed into wedding venue

A cancer patient receiving treatment in a Welsh hospital has married the love of his life in a beautiful ceremony on the ward. Robert Pritchard and his new wife Rose Pritchard have been together for more than 20 years but had previously put getting married on-hold as "life got in the way".

Sadly, Robert's health took a turn for the worse last month - so the pair told nurses and doctors at Morriston Hospital in Swansea, where Robert is receiving care, that they'd like to get married as soon as possible so they could be Mr and Mrs before Robert passes away.

Hardworking hospital staff worked around-the-clock to transform Robert's hospital ward into a bespoke wedding venue for the couple's ceremony - while giving him and other patients the expert care they need. For more Swansea stories, go to this page of our website.
