The 41-year-old attended a routine ultrasound appointment with partner Jason Nece on Friday last week when a nurse found the expectant mum was in active labour.
But the Texas couple told doctors there was one thing they had to do before the baby arrived.
"It was really important to us that we were married when our baby was born," Stephanie told the magazine.
Dr Karla Wagner told PEOPLE: "All of a sudden, we had a wedding."
The hospital chaplain was drafted in to perform the ceremony while Jason retrieved the marriage licence the couple had obtained a day earlier along with a white maternity sundress.
A nurse played Mendelssohn's Wedding March on her mobile phone before the couple exchanged vows in front of around 25 people.
Newlywed Stephanie was then whisked away in a wheelchair with a 'Just Married' sign on the back to have her baby.
Stephanie told PEOPLE: "I didn't think I'd be married and having a baby at the same time. This was the happiest day of our lives."
