No one forgets their wedding day. There will be special moments that are immortalized into precious memories, and most of them are often the least expected.

For the guests and family at Jennifer Darmon and Mike Belawetz's wedding, the most magnificent moment happened when the bride made her grand debut. .

Jennifer almost lost her life after a car accident left her trapped in a van.

Paramedics rushed her to the hospital and were able to save her life, but she was told by doctors that she may never be able to walk again after a spinal cord injury. Paralyzed from the waist down, Jennifer was devastated and told her then-boyfriend, Mike, that he could leave if things got too tough. He never faltered. In an attempt to regain use of her legs, Jennifer underwent multiple surgeries and hours of grueling physical therapy.

She was determined to walk down the aisle on her wedding day no matter what, even donning a borrowed wedding dress to wear during her physical therapy sessions to stay motivated. Mike was always there to offer support and encouragement, and he didn't plan to leave his bride-to-be's side no matter what happened.

Whether she was in a wheelchair the rest of her life or could run 10 miles, Mike loved Jennifer for who she was and was committed to spending his life with her. On the day the couple were to wed, everyone was in awe when the doors to the church opened and Jennifer emerged, dressed in white and standing on her own two feet.

To the fitting song "Walk With You" by Edwin McCain, Jennifer's dream became a reality. With leg braces under her dress and the support of her father and brother on each arm, she slowly made her way down the aisle to meet her husband.

There wasn't a dry eye left in the chapel as the couple exchanged their vows, and the celebration of their love turned into an even greater celebration of Jennifer's determination and achievement. The couple was able to share their first dance as husband and wife as Jennifer had always intended.
