Daughter moves wedding to dad's hospital room so he could be part of it

A North Carolina woman decided to hold her
wedding in a hospital room so her terminally ill
father could be a part of her big day.
Kaila Kirby, planned to tie the knot in July, but
after her father's pulmonary fibrosis took a turn
for the worse, she decided to improvise.
“I just kind of wanted my Dad to give me
away on my wedding day,” Kalia Kirby told
WBTV.
On Wednesday morning, Kaila Kirby and her
fiancé Daniel Pardue stood beside Jubal
Kirby’s hospital bed at the Carolinas Medical
Center in Charlotte, N.C., and said their vows.
With only a few hours to prepare, hospital staff
pulled together $45 in donations and bought fresh
flowers and cake to celebrate the wedding, the
Observer reported.
About 50 friends and relatives surrounded the
couple as they tied the knot, according to the
newspaper.
And while a wedding in a hospital room may
seem rare, it wasn’t the first vow said
in Jubal Kirby's hospital room this week.
Jubal Kirby married his daughter’s mother in a
short ceremony last week, WBTV reported.
Jubal Kirby and Colleen were together for
26 years but did not decide to get married until it
became clear how ill he was.
“He said he wanted to make an honest
woman out of her,” Kaila’s older sister,
Jessica Harrison, told the Observer.
