A terminally-ill man was granted his 'final wish' as he got married in an emotional hospital ceremony just hours before dying of cancer, his wife has said. Nick Glover, 51, married his fiancée Jo in the hospital chapel at Wigan Infirmary on Sunday, April 28 - just one day after he was admitted to hospital. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year, and had hoped to get married this month. But when the Macmillan palliative care team checked on him in April, it was decided his wedding should be held that day. Kind-hearted hospital staff raced to help organise the ceremony as quickly as possible, arranging for Mr Glover to be transported to the chapel and a Chaplain to officiate at the wedding. Nick Glover (in bed), 51, and his partner Jo (next to him) got married at Wigan Infirmary on Sunday, April 28. Mr Glover, who had pancreatic cancer, had been told that day to get married as soon as possible Kind-hearted hospital staff raced to help organise the ceremony as quickly as possible. Despite his condition, Mr Glover was able to read his own vows and, following the ceremony, the couple were taken back to a ward full of staff throwing confetti Mrs Glover said: 'Everything just came together on that particular day. Nick's sister was in the area attending a party from her home down South, so she was able to come to the wedding. 'And his best man, Chris, was on his way home from a trip to Scotland and made it just in time. I'm just so thankful to everyone at the hospital who helped us and gave Nick his final wish.' Despite his condition, Nick was able to read his own vows and, following the ceremony, the couple were taken back to a ward full of staff throwing confetti. Just hours after tying the knot and promising to love one another in sickness and in health, Mr Glover passed away. Mrs Glover has now praised staff who helped arrange the wedding that day, saying: 'With any difficulty that we came across in organising the wedding at such short notice there was always someone there to support us.' Macmillan palliative care nurse Sarah Simm was among those helping, alongside the hospital's Chaplain Caroline Tracey. Several other staff members also lent support. The hospital's catering team provided a buffet for guests and the portering team helped Sarah and Janette escort Nick down to the chapel in his bed. The incredible kindness shown by hospital staff in helping organise her wedding prompted Mrs Glover to make a heartwarming gesture of her own in return. Just hours after tying the knot and promising to love one another in sickness and in health, Mr Glover (pictured) passed away She donated a large amount of decorations for any other couple who may get married at the Trust, as a way of thanking staff. She said: 'It felt right to bring the items in to show our appreciation for all that everybody had done. I just know that Nick would be made up with what we've done.' Following Mr Glover's death, the Chaplain who officiated their ceremony, Ms Tracey, has stayed in regular contact with Mrs Glover. She was asked to officiate Mr Glover's funeral on May 20 and Macmillan staff including Ms Simm - who helped arrange the wedding - handed out Orders of Service. Recalling the work of staff at the hospital, Ms Simm said: 'We place huge focus on individualising care for patients and their families. 'It is all about asking patients who are approaching the end of their life if they have any special wishes we can help to fulfil. 'For some, it could be something simple, but for others it can be something like a wedding which can mean so much. 'Organising the wedding meant that we could help to bring some happy memories to Jo and Nick's final 24 hours together.' She added: 'It's moments like this that make you feel so honoured to be part of our patients' lives. 'It was lovely to see how staff across the Trust came together to make something magical happen.' Weddings are rare in the hospital, but it is one of the services that the Chaplaincy is able to provide.All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
