ROCK HILL, S.C. — A South Carolina couple didn’t want their flowers to go to waste after Hurricane Matthew forced them to postpone their wedding, so they decided to brighten up some patients’ lives.
Andrew Matuskowitz and his fiancée Elizabeth Gilbert planned to have their wedding in Charleston, S.C. this past weekend.
However, due to a mandatory evacuation of the coast in preparation of Hurricane Matthew making landfall, the couple had to postpone their wedding and needed to decide what to do with their pre-ordered wedding flowers.

They chose to bring the flowers to Piedmont Medical Center, in Rock Hill S.C., and deliver them to patients that transferred from coastal-area hospitals, new mothers, and patients undergoing cancer treatment.
One of the patients wanted to thank the couple -- and it turns out they will soon have more in common.
The patient said Andrew and Elizabeth's new wedding date, Nov. 5, will mark her and her husband's 50th wedding anniversary.
