Even though the place was a bit unusual for a wedding, the bride was happy and overwhelmed with the touching gestures made by the hospital staff.

"The whole thing was great. I don't know what my favorite moment was," Nina Scott- Borum said. "I couldn't imagine how great it could be or would be. The staff just outdid themselves ... We couldn't have done it no better."

The nurses at the hospital raised money together for the wedding while others where more than happy to donate cake and flowers.

"We had things donated from different people that we knew, the flowers, the cake, invitations, rings. We actually raised money for the rings ourselves," nurse Christina Ware told WABC 7.

The couple's wedding rings worth $400 were purchased by the staff with the money they collected, as per the Daily Mail. They even brought food for a reception after the ceremony.

The bride and groom were surrounded by their families, friends and the hospital staff - who all wore blue protective medical gowns to protect Borum against infection- while they exchanged vows, Yahoo News has learned.

Borum has been battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma - a cancer that originates in the lymphatic system and then spreads throughout the body - for more than a year. He was admitted to the hospital 18 months ago after suffering pain in his abdomen which turned out to be due to a cancerous mass.

"He's been really going through so much and he can't walk," Nina said of his now-husband. "It's hard on him. He's really hard...It's just sunk his spirit."

During his lengthy stay at the hospital, Borum confessed to the staff how he wanted to save for an engagement ring and to propose to Nina.

Despite his difficult condition, he was obviously happy when he finally got to make Nina his wife.

"How you feeling today?" Borum was asked.

"Great, one of the best days of my life," he answered.
