On his wedding day, Kent Stephenson wanted to show his bride that he would do anything for her — even the impossible. He certainly went above and beyond when he stood for her while she walked down the aisle, working through an accident that had left him paralyzed from the chest down.
In 2009, Kent injured his spine in a Motocross accident, and has been in a wheelchair ever since. His bride, Misti Richeson, remained by his side, even though the pair had only been dating for a few months before Kent’s accident.
Thanks to a stimulator that was implanted in his spine in 2012, Kent had regained the ability to move his hips, legs, and toes. With much work, he was also able to occasionally stand.
When Misti walked down the aisle, Kent stood for her, and stayed standing as they exchanged vows. He was even standing for the huge kiss he planted on her at the end of the ceremony. His dedicated gesture continued into the reception, where he also stood for their first dance.
To see someone overcome a limitation for their new spouse on their wedding day is truly a triumphant moment. For example, this wheelchair-bound groom shocked his bride when he stood up for their first dance, and left everyone in tears. This paraplegic groom also took dance lessons with his bride to make sure that their first dance was truly special. These gestures are not only acts of personal triumph, but a sign of commitment to a new marriage.
