Together through thick and thin! Couple celebrates 37 years of marriage in hospital

“Together through thick and thin” is the phrase that defines the love story between Gilson and Edina, who just celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary from a hospital room.

Gilson was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago. The news was a blow to the couple, but they have kept supporting each other. Now his love travels social networks.

A peculiar celebration

Gilson and Edina, originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, have been married for 37 years. Their marriage has been full of ups and downs, but especially with respect, strength and unconditional love, which allowed them to celebrate another year together.

Unlike other wedding anniversaries, this one was celebrated from the hospital room where Gilson was, who is receiving chemotherapy to treat the cancer that afflicts his body. Despite having everything against him, the hospital staff were so inspired by his story that they provided the necessary support for his celebration.

Gilson’s room was decorated with helium balloons, flowers, banners, and even a priest came to the scene to strengthen their marriage bond. On the other hand, Edina wore a white dress and her daughters appeared as bridesmaids.

The moment of his celebration was full of emotions, Gilson would not stop crying and Edina told him how much she loved him. Those present burst into tears, which ended up changing to applause and good wishes for the couple.

The moment was recorded in a video that was later shared on social networks, moving Internet users from different parts of the world and attracting the attention of the media. But above all, letting us know that the right person is the one who takes us by the hand in the face of adversity and becomes our strength to continue.
