“It started out small, that they wanted to make me a wedding dress, then it was a veil, then flowers and then it became everyone chipping in and jumping onboard,” she said.
Preparation for the ceremony started at 8 a.m., and colleagues worked to get various components done in between caring for patients until 3 p.m.
“When your co-resident’s wedding has been thrown off by COVID-19, you don your best PPE for a hospital ceremony,” colleague Luke Gatta wrote on Twitter.
A nurse from the Labor and Delivery unit served as the “officiant” for the 15-minute ceremony, according to GMA.
“It was absolutely amazing,” Tsai said. “Every day I feel like we take care of our patients and we’re always so thoughtful and love what we do and to see that [my colleagues] also care so much about us and the things that mean so much to us, it was really touching.”
Photos show that Tsai and Sun left the ceremony on a hospital transportation cart with a “Just Married” sign on the back, while colleagues stood along the makeshift “aisle,” cheering them on.
“They’re really my work family and we really try to take care of each other,” Tsai told GMA, adding that the official wedding will now take place in October.
