Ana made it possible for a terminally ill gentleman to see his daughter get married while he was a patient in the ICU. She orchestrated a miniature wedding ceremony as well as a reception for the patient's daughter, her fiancee and some family members. The ceremony was documented by a professional photographer and officiated by a chaplain. Ana decorated the patient's room, provided silverware, a bouquet for the bride, created a "dressing room," and provided a wedding cake and a vocalist. This was all done on her day off! The wedding was originally scheduled for a Friday, but when the patient's condition suddenly deteriorated, it was moved last minute to the preceding Wednesday. Unfortunately, the patient passed away a few days later, but because of Ana's efforts, his daughter got to have her dad at her wedding.
