Read the story below and answer questions   

Pato and Sina were wedding in August. The wedding preparation were almost complete when Pato got involved in a road accident. This was three weeks to the wedding day. Much of their plans were done in hospital. The matron always allowed Sina to stay a little longer after visiting hours. This gave them extra time to prepare for the wedding. There was going to be no dancing because the wedding reception was going to be in the hospital dining hall. The matron said the noise would disturb the other patients.

Among the invited guests were patients who were strong enough to attend, nurses, doctors, close relatives and a few friends. On the wedding day the hall was well decorated with multi-coloured balloons. Pato was in a dark blue suit, purple shirt and a matching tie. He sat on a wheelchair waiting for the bride to enter. Sina was in a cream wedding dress, matching shoes and a white feather on her hat.
