Two uplifting bride stories

'Dreams do come true': Paralyzed bride walks the aisle




After a car accident paralyzed her from the waist down at age 17, Stevie Beale hated hearing that “things would get better.” She felt that no one truly understood the struggles she was going through. “Who am I?” she found herself asking.

Seven years later, after months of physical therapy and practice, Beale no longer feels that way — thanks to the man who she says brought her "back to life."

And on Saturday, the 24-year-old former athlete from Toledo, Ohio, fulfilled a promise she'd made to herself just after her 2006 accident — to walk down the aisle on her wedding day.

911 dispatcher saves bride's wedding day




It played out somewhere between a Keystone Cops comedy and one of those movies about a guardian angel – and it started with a 911 call.

The bride-to-be was packing her car near her Kent home for her wedding, went back inside for another load and came out to find her wedding dress had been stolen.

That was Sunday morning.

The wedding was scheduled for Sunday evening.
