Arranging weddings though? Now that was something new to them, but it didn\u2019t prevent them from making one couple\u2019s wish come true.<\/p>\n<p>Samala Armogan and her fianc\u00e9 Steven Bhaagaloo Goseine were expecting their first child on June 18th, but when they learned that Samala would have to be induced on May, 28th they were upset that their plan to be married before they baby was born would not be possible. The couple had received their marriage license and attempted twice before to get married, but according to Samala, \u201cother medical emergencies got in the way of our plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upon hearing about their desire to be wed, the LDR staff was able to contact a member of the Hospital\u2019s Volunteer Clergy Program, who just happened to be on-campus. Pastor Doulas Palms was happy to preside over the services, stating, \u201cI never expected to be marrying anyone today. I consider it divine intervention that I was here\u00a0to answer this prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the pastor prepared for the service, the nurses scurried to freshen-up the room, take photos of the happy couple, and even provide flowers for the bride. \u201cThis is a first for me. I\u2019ve been working as a nurse for a number of years and never experienced anything like this before. I am very excited for them\u201d, said Myrna Escario, RN, who also served as witness to the nuptials. Approximately one dozen employees attended the very emotional service.<\/p>\n<p>The newlyweds were so appreciative for all the efforts made by the staff. \u201cIt was very important to us to be married before our baby was born,\u201d explained Steven. \u201cEveryone really went out of their way to accommodate this very unusual request. We are so happy and thankful to them for making this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the wedding, mom and dad spent their honeymoon welcoming their new son, Steven Jr. into the world. Both mother and baby are healthy and happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ShareThe employees who work Jamaica Hospital\u2019s Labor, Delivery and Recovery Unit are used to delivering babies.
