"Groom Admitted to Oakland Hospital on Wedding Day, Couple Marries at Bedside"

Francisco Jeronimo Lucas and Marcelina Pablo Bautista, who were planning a courthouse wedding, ended up getting married at an Oakland hospital after the groom was admitted on their wedding day due to a recent gastric cancer diagnosis. With the help of hospital staff, an officiant, flowers, cake, and balloons were brought to the groom's hospital room, and family members witnessed the special moment. The couple of 20 years expressed gratitude, and a palliative care social worker involved in planning the event found joy in being part of the heartwarming occasion.
