When Sofia announced that she was marrying a man in a wheelchair, a storm began in her life that did not subsidize for weeks. Her family gasped, her friends froze in confusion, and distant relatives even held an unofficial “family emergency meeting.”
Everyone tried to stop her.
– You deserve better! What can he give you?
And all because Sofia, 27, promising, smart, respected in her field, chose the man she truly loved. This man was a former athlete, coach, charismatic leader, whose world ended one fateful night.
An accident. A doomed diagnosis. A spinal cord injury. Everything he had built collapsed in seconds. From medals to a wheelchair.
It was in this state that Sofia saw him for the first time.
For Sofia, he became her first love. With him, she was just herself.
When the girl told her family that she loved him, a storm began. The mother cried. The father is threatened to disinherit her. Her friends “politely” deleted her from their group chats. Even her colleagues began to treat her with a hint of pity.
– You will become a nurse for him, not a wife!
But Sofia, for the first time in her life, had no doubts. They planned a wedding.
And so, the day of the ceremony. Sofia is in a dress, as she says. And when she walked down the aisle, something very unexpected happened, which left all the guests confused.
Her beloved… stood up. One step. Another. And another. He leaned on his cane, but he stood.
“I wanted to meet you standing,” he whispered as she approached. “If only for a moment.”
He was on a secret recovery course. He trained at night, fell, got up again – just to give her the opportunity to feel happy next to an ordinary guy.
