Couple Get Married In Hospital As Premature Son Plays Ring-Bearer

Knowing the couple wanted to wed but had been too busy caring for their premature son for the last two months, the staff at Cook Children's helped the couple arrange a wedding ceremony at the hospital.

Unlike what Kristi Warriner had envisioned her wedding day to be like, it was by far more beautiful than she had dreamed it would be.

The Texas bride and mom tied the knot with her fiance, Justin Nelson, in the neonatal intensive care unit so their son, who was born 15 weeks early could be the ring bearer.

According to The Star-Telegram, the couple had lost one of their twins when Kristi went into labour 15 weeks early at Fort Worth hospital on September 2.

Their surviving son, J.J., was 'touch and go' for weeks, weighing less than two pounds at birth.

Daily Mail reports that little J.J. who now weighs 6 pounds, 8 ounces, appears to be improving each day.

Local businesses donated the bride's wedding gown and flowers. One of family's friends lent the outfit for tiny ring-bearer J.J. to wear.

Speaking to The Star-Telegram, the happy bride said, "It's not what you dream of as a little girl - it's even better. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding."

The bride and groom named the son they lost Colt, and he was represented at the ceremony by a Dallas Cowboys teddy bear that they sat next to J.J.

"We thank God every day for J.J. getting better and stronger," the bride said. "Our biggest mission with all this was to help others know they are not alone. I hope we've touched somebody's life and let them know there is hope after tragedy."

The family and doctors at Cook Children's hope J.J. will be allowed home around Christmas.
