A physical education teacher at Emmett Middle School in Emmett, Idaho, put them on the same badminton team and they\u2019ve been best friends ever since. A few years ago, they began to date. They planned to get married.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/1970\/01\/28144835\/wedding4.webp\" alt=\"wedding\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rachel Burgess holds the hand of her husband, David Burgess. The two were married May 9 in the Intensive Care Unit at Memorial Hospital Central.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In late February 2016, though, David became seriously ill. He was in and out of the Intensive Care Unit at Memorial Hospital. Three times, doctors placed David in a medically-induced coma.<\/p>\n<p>After David emerged from the third coma, Rachel decided she did not want to wait another day to marry David, and she asked the nurses and caretakers in the ICU to help her with the details. After she got a marriage license, they married May 9 on the fourth floor of Memorial Hospital Central. The Rev. Jennifer Winterfeld, a hospital chaplain, officiated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were planning a wedding; they had rings ordered, but he just kept having one complication after another,\u2019\u2019 Winterfeld said. \u201cSo, it was pretty touch and go. \u2026 And she was like, \u2018We\u2019re just going to get married. We\u2019re not going to leave this to chance.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>ICU nurses scrambled to put the wedding together. A nurse whose husband is a notary summoned him to the unit to notarize a wedding certificate. Sodexo, Memorial\u2019s food services provider, sent a cheesecake. Catherine Landgraf, a physician\u2019s assistant, brought rings for the couple to exchange.<\/p>\n<p>Tana Steiner-Smith, a medical social worker, served as the wedding photographer and nurses Annie Collar-Marple and Katie Holm served as ring bearers and bridesmaids. They helped Rachel tie the veil to her flowing auburn hair.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/1970\/01\/28144836\/wedding2.webp\" alt=\"cake\" width=\"250\" height=\"320\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sodexo, the food and nutrition provider for Memorial Hospital, sent a cheesecake to celebrate the marriage of David and Rachel Burgess.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t say nice enough things about the ICU staff and everything that they have done for us,\u2019\u2019 Rachel said. \u201cIt\u2019s not just that they saved David\u2019s life three or four times \u2026 some of the nurses have become our family. They have really taken care of us.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>David, who was married from his bed, came to the hospital with the flu, and he was then diagnosed with another illness that has caused him seizures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is just one of these patients that really got into me and Katie\u2019s hearts.\u00a0 It\u2019s been an emotional ride with him and it has affected all of us,\u2019\u2019 said Annie CollarMarple, who served as the ring bearer and bridesmaid along with Katie Holm, also an ICU nurse. \u201cHe\u2019s been near death three times, and he\u2019s always come out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can tell what a good guy he is and what a great person Rachel is, and to be a part of them and a part of their wedding is a lasting gift that we can give to them,\u2019\u2019 said Collar-Marple.<\/p>\n<p>Steiner-Smith, the social worker, said the couple has no family locally and a loose-knit group of friends, so the staff felt compelled to do all they could for the couple.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRachel requested assistance with the wedding, and we all felt a connection to her,\u2019\u2019 Steiner-Smith said.<br \/>\nMemorial nurse Annie CollarMarple (left) and Katie Holm, served as bridesmaids for Rachel and David Burgess, who were married May 9 at Memorial Hospital Central.<\/p>\n<p>Winterfeld, who has presided over many ceremonies in the hospital, said she was honored to be a part of the couple\u2019s wedding. She said the wedding is an example of how employees live the mission of UCHealth \u2013 to improve lives \u2013 and the mission of the chaplaincy at Memorial, which is to: \u201cHonor the sacred in every moment.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me, this is exactly what hospital chaplaincy is \u2013 honoring the sacred in every moment,\u2019\u2019 Winterfeld said.<\/p>\n<p>After hugs and congratulations from the staff, the nurses helped Rachel remove the \u00a0unorthodox wedding veil from her flowing hair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m keeping this,\u2019\u2019 she said while folding the veil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rachel Burgess wore a rather unorthodox veil for her wedding \u2013 a modified yellow surgical gown tied to the back of her auburn hair.
