The couple’s spokesperson revealed that Oliver came early (June 14th) at about just six months of pregnancy. He weighed about 3 pounds and 14.6 ounces and had to be kept in an incubator at the WakeMed Medical Centre. There the couple shared their idea of getting married at the courthouse instead with a nurse. However, the family navigator there, Mallory Magelli McKeown came up with a different plan for the couple. Mallory who is also a Chaplin suggested that they get married at the hospital chapel.

Neonatologist Dr. Stephen DeMeo who is handling Oliver’s case too gave a thumbs up for the wedding and said the couple’s little bundle of joy could join in as well. Both Amanda and Edwin loved the plan and so seven weeks later their loved ones gathered along with the NICU staff to witness the magical moments. Thank goodness Amanda had purchased her wedding outfit just two weeks before going into premature labor. When her mother surprised her by putting Oliver into her arms she decided to ditch the bouquet and walk down the aisle with her son instead.

The hospital staff was sweet enough to arrange a tiny suit for Oliver, who she took to the altar un-swaddled so that people could see how handsome her son looked. The nurses decorated the new mom’s room to celebrate the big day. There was not a single dry eye in the room and the ambiance was full of love and emotions added their spokesperson.

The Acevedo couple is very much elated and satisfied with their wedding and claims it to be better than what they originally planned and even though the couple likes to keep things private the limelight of this very moment filled her with joy. Amanda later took to her Facebook to thank her friends and family and the WakeMed team for the special care.
