A Perthshire couple proved that love conquers all by tying the knot in hospital after the groom was involved in a life-changing motorcycle accident.

Roddy and Polly McDonald, who live near Coupar Angus, were married in front of friends and family at the chapel at Ninewells Hospital in a very special and emotional ceremony.

Roddy was a patient at the Major Trauma Centre at the time of the wedding after being involved in a motorcycle crash that left him with a number of serious injuries, including double breaks to his arm and leg and a fractured spine leaving his bride-to-be fearing she might lose him.

The couple were originally due to get married in Dundee on the same date in front of close family and friends who had travelled from across the UK and as far away as Australia and New Zealand.

Unfortunately, due to the seriousness of Roddy’s injuries, they were forced to change their original plans.
