Dominique's Story
Dominique didn’t expect her wedding day to happen like this.
Her mum, Odile, was in hospital, receiving end‑of‑life care.
The wedding planned for next year… was suddenly too far away.
So Dominique made a decision — she brought the wedding to Odile.
What happened next was extraordinary.
Nurses at Prince of Wales Hospital stepped in — not just as caregivers, but as something more.
They transformed a hospital balcony into a beautiful wedding space. They helped Odile get dressed and made sure she could walk her daughter down the aisle.
There were tears. Laughter. Love.
“It turned out to be the most perfect place,” Dominique said.
Because her mum was there. And that made all the difference.
