They figured out a way to help Irene feel as though she was a part of the wedding. They set up a laptop for her to watch the wedding live on skype.
“Mrs. Humble was devastated that she could not be there on the day due to her health, and so we decided we must do all we could to make the day as special for her as possible”, Joy Puckering, the manager at the Care home said to Hull Daily Mail.

From her daughter being escorted in, to her great-grandchildren walking down the aisle as ring bearers. The staff at the Care home also dressed up and joined her. To top it off, the Chef at her care home baked her a wedding cake and presented to her during the toast at the wedding.
“I can’t thank the staff enough for making such a special time for me”, Irene said.
