Paraplegic Veteran Surprises Bride With Wheelchair-Free Dance

Paraplegic Veteran Surprises Bride With Wheelchair-Free Dance

Joey Johnson is a vet that served in Afghanistan. Once he returned he suffered, like many vets, from post traumatic stress disorder. So he decided to pick up a hobby to help and give him the rush he loved, riding motorcycles. Unfortunately, 4 months after he met his girlfriend Michelle Johnson he got in a terrible motorcycle accident. The accident left him as a paraplegic unable to feel anything from his chest down. But he still wanted to do something special for his wife and surprise her on their wedding day.

That didn’t stop them from falling more in love and getting married. They knew they were meant for each other and a wheelchair was not going to stop them. But Joey had one big surprise for her at their wedding.
