September 30, 2015The chapel at Texas County Memorial Hospital held its first nuptials on Saturday, September 5th at the 2 p.m. wedding of Robert and Ruth Koehler.
On September 1, Mr. Koehler, a Texas County resident, was in a serious one-vehicle accident on Highway 17 near Success. Koehler’s accident left him hospitalized and unable to attend his planned wedding to Ruth in the Wright County community of Evening Shade.
“When we heard that Mr. Koehler was going to cancel his wedding due to his hospitalization, our med surg department sprang into action to help the Koehler’s utilize our chapel for their ceremony,” Wes Murray, TCMH chief executive officer, said.
Ruth Koehler’s children came to the wedding. Nursing staff took photos and helped Robert Koehler put on his Sunday clothes for the event.
The Koehler’s pastor came to the hospital and performed the ceremony. Rings were exchanged. A reception was held in Evening Shade after the ceremony.
Mr. Koehler remains hospitalized due to his accident, but he’s looking forward to his discharge. He and Ruth plan to reside at his home in Texas County.
