Video: Bermudians Marry At Lahey

January 31, 2012

[Video auto plays] “Love was the medicine of the day at Lahey Clinic this past Friday as a couple of 30 years tied the knot in a special wedding ceremony in the hospital’s Oncology Department,” reports Burlington Patch.

“Wendell Scraders, 60, a resident of Bermuda and a patient at Lahey Clinic for esophageal cancer, married long-time girlfriend Carol Anne Perinchief, 52, also of Bermuda, as nurses, doctors and other members of the hospital staff looked on. The couple were married by hospital chaplain Reverend Heather Hinton, a minister with the United Church of Christ.

“Angela Tambini, Chief Therapist for the Radiology/Oncology Department, said the couple decided to get married just two days before Friday’s ceremony. Since they were far from family, the staff rallied together and made all of the arrangements and then many staff members came to watch the ceremony and share their best wishes with the happy couple.”
