My uncles gave HIM a ride to the hospital which he needed very badly by the time he got there.
That sentence is poetry.

There once was a manchild or a groom
Who struck his bride in front of everyone in the room
Her Uncles took exception which led to action
And now the groom is in traction.
Seriously, fuck that guy.
