Yvonne Wilson, a beauty therapist, began feeling ill during the ceremony as she married groom Dennis, at a luxury hotel.
After the wedding party moved to a local park for official photographs to be taken Wilson, was struck down by agonising pains.
She cut short the photo shoot and returned to the hotel in Rotherham hoping to shake off the pain.
But as the bride and groom were preparing to welcome guests to an evening reception at the town's Holiday Inn she was struck down again.
Leaving her husband, 51, to meet the arriving guests, Wilson was rushed to nearby Rotherham District Hospital by bridesmaid Sue Vickers.
After being examined by doctors in the Accident and Emergency department, Wilson was given painkillers and released.u00a0u00a0u00a0
She returned to her wedding reception but was hit by more pain as the party was ending at 1 am and had to return to the hospital.
The following day she had further examinations and after a scan two weeks later doctors discovered she had a fibroid - a benign tumour on her womb that would require surgery to remove.
But when doctors revealed there was a six-month waiting list for the operation, the couple decided to cancel their 3,000 pounds Caribbean holiday in Barbados and instead use the cash for a private operation.
Then in a final cruel twist, Wilson's wedding and engagement rings were stolen from a house where she was working as a mobile beautician.
She had removed the rings to carry out the treatment but forgot them when she left.u00a0
The property was burgled the following night and the jewellery was stolen.
''I know what we have been through has been horrible but at the end of the day we have got each other so we'll be okay,' the Daily Mail quoted Wilson as saying.
''I think everything that could go wrong did go wrong but we have managed to get through it,'' he husband added.
