Sarah, a nurse who takes care of premature babies in the neonatal unit, and Greg, who takes care of very ill patients in the acute care unit, have been together for nine years. After getting engaged in Venice in 2019, the couple have been working on the front lines throughout the pandemic.
Sarah, who is expecting a baby in May, said: “It’s been a long wait, it was totally worth it! We couldn’t have dreamed of a better way to celebrate than in such a beautiful place with our family and friends, plus the amazing food and drinks and all the wonderful things offered by so many lovely local businesses.

Libby Harrison, Director of Client Services at Eskmills added: “We were delighted to finally host Sarah and Greg’s wedding. It took a long time but it was wonderful to see them enjoying their big day with their friends and family at one of our favorite wedding venues.
The competition was originally created to thank the amazing NHS frontline workers who are doing such incredible and selfless work during the Covid-19 pandemic and Sarah and Greg are a great example of that. We wish them all the best in their married life together!”
