Massachusetts General Hospital workers scrambled to plan a dream wedding in one day. And they did. Camelia Rodriguez, a patient suffering from advanced breast cancer, married her long-time partner Jorge Estuardo in a traditional Mexican wedding. She wore a white dress. The groom gave her 13 gold coins to show his trust, confidence, and support.

We find this story bittersweet. It is sad that Rodriguez suffers from advanced breast cancer. We don't know her prognosis. But it's heartwarming to hear of a group of people in a hospital rushing to plan a wedding, making sure that Mexican traditions and a Spanish-speaking pastor were present for this woman. And even though she's ill, Rodriguez was happy to finally marry her partner of eight years.

With all of the craziness out there, isn't it nice to hear of people helping each other? Call us saps, but we'll take this story over badly-behaving bridezillas any day.
