Bride and groom visit hospital to surprise grandmother on their wedding day

A woman whose grandmother couldn’t be there to watch her walk down the aisle stopped to visit her in the hospital on her wedding day.

Bride Jessica Colalillo, 24, tied the knot to her long-time partner, Adam, 31, last month at a ceremony in Ontario, Canada.

But her 88-year-old grandmother, Gemma Russo, was unable to attend after she had a fall resulting in a long hospital stay.
