In view of the news, the nursing staff did everything to set up a small ceremony in the hospital. "You must be beautiful for a wedding", whispered to Fernando a nurse tying a bow tie around his neck.

Wearing a tiara in addition to her surgical mask, Rosario arrived in a wheelchair on the fabricated altar, bouquet of flowers in hand.
