Hospital Wedding
WHEN pancreatic cancer unexpectedly struck Alfonso and Marina, they faced it head-on. Just three days before Alfonso s surgery, they decided to exchange vows in the hospital chapel at Arrixaca Hospital in El Palmar. Despite the unconventional setting, their wedding was filled with love and tradition. Surrounded by family and friends, they toasted outside the chapel and cut the cake in the hospital cafeteria. Alfonso, wearing a drainage tube under his borrowed suit, entered surgery with newfound strength. Their decision to marry before the operation was driven by their two young children and a desire for peace of mind. Now, on the path to recovery, Alfonso and Marina proudly wear rings purchased at a medieval market, symbolising their enduring commitment. Their story is a testament to love s ability to conquer even the toughest of challenges.
