A ruptured appendix that sent a Michigan woman to the hospital on her wedding day wasn't enough to stop the marriage from going forward.

AnnArbor.com reports 36-year-old Claris Hart went to the emergency room early Tuesday at St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor with severe stomach pain. Staff quickly pulled together a hospital wedding ceremony before she underwent an appendectomy that afternoon.

Hart and 41-year-old Christopher Berrey had planned to marry Tuesday in a small backyard ceremony at their home in nearby Ypsilanti.

Berrey says Hart didn't want to delay the wedding. So emergency department staff made a veil of gauze and bought Hart a bouquet of yellow roses. The dress Hart planned to wear for her wedding was blue, so staff made sure she wore a blue hospital gown.
