He prepped for surgery — by getting hitched. A Florida teacher who needed an emergency triple bypass three days before his wedding decided to get married in the hospital chapel right away rather than delay his nuptials, according to a report. 'So I said, ‘Let's get married right now. Call the rabbi and get him up here,'' said Daniel Pecoraro, 55. 'We had the marriage license, and I didn't want to let it go to waste.' Pecoraro and Lisa Siegel were slated to get hitched on Nov. 10, when the middle school science teacher learned he needed the bypass at HCA Florida JFK Hospital in Atlantis.
