Couple marries for a second time following hospital wedding
One North Carolina couple didn't say 'I do' to each other just once, but twice within the last few months.
After a medical emergency this past May, Megan and Aiden Nault ended up unconventionally tying the knot in the hospital.
That's when our sister station WXII 12 first met the couple.
Last month, the two finally got the wedding they dreamt of and deserved.
"It feels surreal kind of," Megan said. "Obviously, you don't expect to marry the same man twice in a row like that."
Their adventure to the altar began in May. On the eve of their wedding, Megan had been experiencing excruciating abdominal pain that required emergency surgery.
"We definitely got the sickness and health part down," Aiden said.
"Yeah," Megan added. "The first was our sickness wedding, this was our health wedding."
Originally, the two got married on the night of their rehearsal dinner during Megan's hospital stay.
While the wedding was lovely, Megan knew she still wanted that fairytale ending.
So, on July 20, they both got the wedding they had always dreamt of.
"Everyone asks if it was as special as the first time," Megan said. "And I'd say yes, 100 percent. Knowing everything we went through and getting to the venue. in the moment, in the dress. It was the perfect moment. I got emotional just being outside getting to do this-- it was just great."
A true testament to 'in sickness and in health,' that this couple will remember forever.
"It was beautiful," Aiden said. "That we finally got the perfect ending we wanted."
The couple plans to go on an official honeymoon sometime next year to somewhere tropical.
