Maggie Leaker, a terminally ill patient from Motherwell, marries her partner of 26 years, Stephen Langford, in a ceremony arranged by NHS staff at University Hospital Wishaw.

The couple holds the ceremony in the hospital’s sanctuary, with staff helping coordinate the event during her care. Both outlets describe the occasion as taking place in Wishaw and emphasize that the staff’s involvement enables the couple to exchange vows in a hospital setting rather than postponing the marriage.
