Couple ties the knot before emergency heart surgery
- A Chicago couple faced a life-threatening situation when Annesley Clark was diagnosed with a severe heart condition.
- The couple arranged to have their wedding just one day before Clark's scheduled open-heart surgery.
- Their emotional wedding ceremony was organized by the nursing team, and the surgery was ultimately successful.
In Chicago, Annesley Clark and Christine Corso celebrated their wedding just a day before Clark underwent urgent open-heart surgery. The couple originally had to cancel their wedding planned for November when Clark was diagnosed with a life-threatening infection and a large mass on his heart. Knowing that time was critical, they requested to wed the day before the operation, prompting the nursing staff at Northwestern Medicine to organize a surprise wedding ceremony. With emotional support from nurses and doctors, the couple's special day included personalized details arranged swiftly by the clinical team. Following the wedding, Clark underwent surgery, where Dr. Benjamin Bryner successfully removed the mass, allowing the couple to look forward to their first holiday season together as a married pair.
