A maid of honor who went into labor on the morning of her friend’s wedding was given a beautiful surprise when the entire wedding party turned up at her bedside in hospital.
When bride Skye discovered that her maid of honor and friend of more than eight years, Hannah, was due to give birth around the time of her wedding, the pair decided what will be will be.
Hannah attended the rehearsal dinner the night before the big day, but at 1.30am in the early hours of the wedding day itself the maid of honor’s water broke.
Friends didn’t tell Skye until the morning, but she said she had to be by her bestie’s side at some point during the day.

After the ceremony, Skye, from Saskatchewan, Canada, checked with hospital staff to ask if she could bring the wedding party to visit Hannah, who was still in labor.
Having been given the green light, the group jumped in the “party bus” and headed to the hospital, getting clapped as they entered and made their way through the halls.
Seeing Hannah made Skye cry with happiness, and after checking in on her and taking photos, the group headed back to the celebrations.
Hannah gave birth later that day – right around the time she would have been giving a maid of honor speech – and another one of Skye’s friends, Alyson, later shared videos of the wedding party’s wholesome hospital visit on social media.
Skye said: “I knew we had to go to the hospital.
“After the ceremony, we got on the party bus and immediately made plans to see how she was feeling and to check with the hospital staff to see if it would be okay to surprise her.
“We got the okay and headed there right away.
“Upon arrival, we were greeted by smiling nurses, clapping and cheering in the hallway, and then got into the room to see bestie.
“It was a very emotional time – only one of two times I cried on my own wedding day – and my new husband even said he got choked up, as he doesn’t cry.
“We checked in on her, took a photo and then carried on bittersweetly, as I felt sad that we were leaving her behind.
“It felt so good to see her in person the day of, as I obviously knew I wanted her to be included and this was the only way at the time, it was so special. “Baby was born healthy and safe, right when she would have been giving her wedding speech.”
