A California teen who is battling cancer in hospital was able to walk his mom down the aisle, thanks to kindly hospital staff who staged a makeshift wedding ceremony on his ward.

Anita Sanchez, 48, decided to have her sons Sergio, 17, and Manny, 30, walk her down the aisle after her father passed away last year.

Unfortunately, Sergio, who has been battling Leukemia since he was six and received a bone marrow transplant from Manny in April, was unable to be discharged from Children's Hospital Los Angeles in time for the ceremony.

“I thought it would be an amazing idea that both my sons walk me down the aisle, especially knowing that one is a donor, and one is a recipient,” said Anita, a nurse.

“Our goal was to be out of the hospital by the time I got married, but unfortunately with the complications, Sergio wasn't allowed to get discharged, which bummed him out.

“The nurses were like, ‘you know what, we'll do something here for you guys, we'll do a little ceremony.’”

They created decorations out of paper, strung up lights, made Anita a bouquet and one of the nurses served as her maid of honor.

Sergio, Anita and her husband Peter all wore cowboy attire to celebrate the occasion.

Sergio walked Anita to the room where Peter waited and even gave a speech.
