Vieneese Stanton's boyfriend proposed to her earlier this year, and the couple was planning to get married in April 2018.
She wanted to make sure that her whole family could be in attendance at the wedding — especially her dad.
Sadly, her dad was diagnosed with leukemia and has been receiving chemotherapy since then. Doctors told Vieneese and her family that her dad may not be able to hold on much longer.
"The doctors have given him only a few weeks to live," the bride said on Facebook. That's when she made the decision to scrap any plan of getting married in April — and instead have her wedding in her dad's hospital.
She wanted to do it as a surprise for her dad, and he had no idea what was going on until everyone got to the hospital. The bride credits the amazing staff at the hospital for helping her pull off the wedding.

Vieneese Stanton wanted to make sure that her dad would be present at her wedding.
"We have both dreamed of him walking me down the aisle to my groom," she wrote on Facebook.
But with her dad's deteriorating health, Vieneese wasn't sure if he'd make it to her originally planned wedding, set for 2018.
Instead of waiting, the bride surprised her dad by having her wedding in his hospital.
"The doctors have given him only a few weeks to live so with the help of an AMAZING nurse team we were able to have a surprise wedding for my dad so he could attend," she wrote on Facebook.
Family and friends came to her dad's hospital and shared in the bride and groom's special moment.
Vieneese's dad took her arm, and the pair walked down the hallway of the hospital instead of a traditional aisle.
Even though it was such short notice, the bride knew it was the right thing to do.
"This was one of the best moments of my life," she wrote on Facebook. "This man has raised me since I was 3 years old and now I get the chance to be there for him."
As you can see, everyone was all smiles during the beautiful wedding.
"Dad, I love you more than you know and I am going to be by your side for every step of this process," the bride wrote online.
The hospital was decorated in purple and white after being transformed into the couple's wedding venue.
Instead of having a wedding in April 2018, Vieneese and her groom moved the date up to November 2017, so that her dad could take part.
You can tell by this photo just how thrilled her dad is to experience his daughter's wedding.
