Here's a wedding story that gives new meaning to the vows "in sickness and in health."
Just two months before her wedding, Rachelle Friedman was paralyzed during a freak accident at her bachelorette party. “We got home, ran upstairs and changed into our bathing suits. My best friend — and she still is my best friend — she playfully pushed me in like we've done a million times," Friedman has said. But this time, Friedman slammed her head on the bottom of the pool, leaving her permanently paralyzed.
The couple postponed their wedding, but their commitment never wavered. A year later, Rachelle and Chris Chapman were married on July 22. Their videographer, Matt Davis (owner of Life Stage Films), has shared with us a clip from their wedding, and it's truly the most heartwarming video we've ever seen.
"In a day when divorce is just as common as marriage and people decide to walk away from their spouses or their marriages when things get ‘tough’ or they don't get their way, it should impact anyone watching this," he said. "To see others not only have much bigger problems and obstacles, but with a selfless – not a selfish – mindset and heart, it makes you see life is much fuller."
From the video, it's clear how deeply in love they truly are. We love how Chris sat in a chair during the ceremony so that he and his bride would be on the same level. And they look so happy during their incredibly moving first dance. Check out the video:
