Dartford & Gravesham NHS Trust Ward staff and Chaplaincy team have assembled a wedding box which can be borrowed by in-patients who wish to get married whilst receiving treatment at the hospital.
Due to the nature of hospital weddings, they are often at short notice and these boxes make it easier for teams to create something special when time is limited.
We are really excited to offer this to our patients. We feel that by having items on hand for couples to borrow, will make their day that little bit more special, will further enhance the amazing care provided by our staff and will help to take away any added stress at such an emotional time.
Funded by the Hospital’s Valley Charity, the box will contain all the necessary items to support a wedding at short notice. This includes:
- Decorations to transform the patient’s room
- Artificial flowers,
- Artificial buttonholes,
- Bunting,
- Tea lights,
- Colour Polaroid camera
- Keepsakes for the patient and new spouse.
- Ring sizers
The keepsakes are for the couple to keep, but the rest is either disposable or cleanable so that they can be reused.
We look forward to further supporting our patients during these special moments.
