Big wedding canceled, couple shifts venue to hospital

WYOMING, Mich. (WOOD) — While the COVID-19 pandemic has put a halt to much of our lives, one thing it apparently cannot stop is love and marriage. A nurse and physician assistant at Metro Health Hospital in Wyoming decided to not let the virus delay their life plans.

Melanie Bork, a Kenowa Hills grad, attended the University of Michigan and spent 10 years working in Petoskey before coming to work for Metro in post-anesthesia recovery. Bradley Wernette grew up in the Flint area and did his undergraduate work at Grand Valley State University. He is now a physician assistant in neurosurgery.

Both in their early 30s, they met on a dating site, and their first face-to-face date at Perrin Brewing Co. went pretty well.
