Most girls start to plan their weddings as early as 13, before even finding the groom. At the age of 4, one young New York cancer patient met her groom and had her dream “wedding” all in one.

The child, Abby Sayles, walked down the aisle at Melodies Center for Childhood Cancers at Albany Medical Center, the hospital where she receives treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, to “marry” her favorite nurse, Matt Hickling. It was a fairytale wedding filled with rose petals, Ring Pops, cake, and a bright pink toy car that read “Just Married.”

Hickling, who has been one of Abby’s main nurses for about a year, was surprised to hear from the girl’s mom, Renee Sayles, that her daughter was excited to come in for treatment because she was looking forward to marrying him, ABC 7 reported. So, the nurse and hospital staff decided to make it a reality, organizing a wedding in just 24 hours. The medical staff got a cake, found a “tuxedo” for Hickling, and received the help of a local florist, who donated flowers. Abby’s physician, Dr. Jennifer Pearce, officiated the wedding between the patient and the nurse.

“We are gathered together today in the Melody Center to witness the marriage of Matt and Abby,” says Pearce in the video. Abby in her white princess gown excitedly asks Hickling, “Will you marry me?” “Of course I will marry you,” responds Hickling, as they exchange vows with a hug and two Ring Pops.

Hickling took to Facebook and decided to share the sweet moment with the permission of Sayles:

Our patient shyly asked me to marry her. I didn't hesitate to say yes, I got a HUGE hug and we sealed the deal with ring pops being placed on our fingers! We then took a stroll down the hall in our "Just Married" car (well I pushed) and headed back into the room for cake and photos. This is when Dr. Lauren Silverman helped our patient slam cake right in my face!

To top it off, Abby received a frame with a picture of her and Hickling inside signed by the hospital’s entire staff. The child was quite pleased with the affair, hopping around in her beautiful dress, veil, and bouquet. She even said "this is the best day ever."

Hickling hopes Abby and her family can always look back on and smile when facing tough days. The young cancer patient has to take chemo pills once a day and needs a spinal tap every three months, Sayles told WNYT.

Abby still has a year and a half left of treatment, but doctors expect her to do well and live a long and normal life.
