Despite the visit with her mom being too short, Obry described the moment as one of the most important days of her life, according to Fox News.
“My mother was hospitalized too,” one person wrote in the comment section, per the outlet. “She cried, pleaded and begged the doctors to let her leave for just a few hours for my wedding.”
“They finally agreed after she signed a medical waiver,” the commenter continued. “Because of that compromise, she was able to stay until the cake cutting before returning to the hospital like Cinderella before midnight. It was magical.”
