- It was truly touching.

That is what diamond bride Anna Rigmor Hansen says about the celebration she and her spouse Svend Aage received yesterday at the hospital in Vejle.

Here it turned out that love can certainly be celebrated - even at the hospital.

The staff on the medical ward discovered that her admission coincided with Anna Rigmor and Svend Aage Hansen's diamond wedding anniversary. Without the couple knowing anything, they set about arranging a celebration, the hospital says on its Facebook page - complete with an honor guard, bouquet, and bubbly.

- She came in the day before the diamond wedding and told the staff that she wanted to go home because there was a diamond wedding on the 23rd, says the diamond groom, who today is again sitting by his wife's side at the hospital.

But instead of canceling the celebration, it was moved to the ward's conference room, where a table was set for ten guests. Family and friends found their way to the hospital, and together they marked the couple's 60 years as spouses with coffee, marzipan ring cake, and bubbly.

For the main characters themselves, the day turned out to be both surprising and overwhelming.

- It was touching, says Anna Rigmor Hansen, and Svend Aage agrees.

- We had no expectation that anything would be done at all. But what the hospital delivered was very nice.
