"I now realized why I was involved in the tragedy..."

The upcoming marriage between a Boston Marathon bombing survivor and the nurse who helped him recover has the hospital where the pair met "buzzing."

"Everyone who works on the floor here, who knew him, everyone is buzzing about it," Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital spokesman Tim Sullivan told GoodMorningAmerica.com of former patient James Costello. "All of us are really proud of him."

Costello, in his 30s, spent nearly two weeks in in-patient therapy at the Boston-area hospital after undergoing multiple surgeries to treat the burns he received when the bombs went off at the marathon's finish line last April.

"Eight months later, I'm happy to announce that we will spend the rest of our lives together," he wrote. "I now realized why I was involved in the tragedy. It was to meet my best friend, and the love of my life."
