The wedding was hastily put together, but the marriage surely wasn’t.
But from his hospital bed on Nov. 7, Pecoraro decided that day was going to be the happiest day of their lives.
Siegel and Pecoraro had been engaged for eight years and were planning a quaint ceremony at his mother’s home in Boynton Beach with a large dinner afterward at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa.Pecoraro, a 55-year-old science teacher at L.C. Swain Middle School in Greenacres, started having chest pain on Nov. 4 while he was running between meetings at school.
Although doctors across the U.S. perform nearly 500,000 coronary bypass surgeries each year with a success rate of around 98%, Pecoraro knew that recovery from the surgery would take weeks. The couple planned to head down to the chapel to have a small ceremony with their parents. Then, they’d return to Pecoraro’s room to eat cookies from his mother and toast their marriage.Nurses, caregivers and others staff cleared out the chapel and added a long banquet table with a white tablecloth and wine glasses. They set up a buffet for the couple’s “reception” and filled the chapel with cheers and well wishes.
There were no complications with the procedure, and he’s expected to be home well before Thanksgiving.But the unexpected surgery will still mark his life in other ways.
