27-year-old Gina Giaffoglione of McClelland, Iowa was in a car crash six years ago, and ended up paralyzed from the waist down. But after her boyfriend proposed to her in 2012, she decided she wanted to WALK down the aisle with her dad, Gary. Of course, that doesn't mean she expected to RECOVER from her injury. But after a year-and-a-half of physical therapy to build up her core muscles, she was able to do it with braces on her legs, a crutch in one hand, and her dad holding onto her other arm . . . all while she was in a wedding dress with a full train. Only her close friends and family knew she was planning it, so most of her wedding guests had no idea until it HAPPENED.
According to Gina, she did it for her dad, because she's his only daughter. And she wanted him to be able to WALK her down the aisle, not push her in a wheelchair. And by the way, after she made it down the aisle, she also STOOD the entire time she and her husband John exchanged vows. What an awesome story, huh? Make sure you share it with someone who may need a little inspiratioin their life!
