Before Tsai walked down the \"aisle,\" her colleagues set up a special room for her to change into her paper wedding gown and then arranged a \"first look\" moment between her and Sun.

A nurse from the Labor and Delivery unit \"officiated\" the approximately 15-minute ceremony at Duke Birthing Center.

The ceremony was watched on Zoom by nearly a dozen of Tsai's and Sun's friends, family and actual wedding party.

At the end of the ceremony, Tsai and Sun rode off on a hospital transportation cart decorated with \"Just Married\" signs.

The couple, who met in college, has moved their official wedding to October.

\"It was absolutely amazing,\" Tsai said of her commemorative ceremony. \"Every day I feel like we take care of our patients and we’re always so thoughtful and love what we do and to see that [my colleagues] also care so much about us and the things that mean so much to us, it was really touching.\"

\"They’re really my work family and we really try to take care of each other,\" she said.
