Stage 4 cancer canceled her wedding. So the hospital gave her a new one

Kizzie Priestly has Stage 4 cancer and was supposed to get married this weekend, but her condition worsened and she was admitted to Trident Medical Center near Charleston, S.C.

So instead, the hospital staff came together and gave her a wedding Thursday night.

Priestly, 39, of Goose Creek, wed her fiance, David Hall, at the medical center since she was advised not to travel anywhere.

“They met nearly a year ago,” a release from the hospital states. “Kizzie’s work with special needs children and David’s work with orphan relief brought them together. Kizzie said she fell in love with David’s heart. He said it was Kizzie’s heart that captured his.”

Chief Nursing Officer Lynn Singleton said the outpouring of staff and friends has been overwhelming knowing they could make Kizzie and David’s dream come true.

“It’s a privilege for our Trident family to have a part in this new family’s wedding,” Singleton said. “They are a blessing to us.”
