I loved him more than anything. We met by accident in a café when he mistakenly took my order. He was kind, thoughtful, and attentive — from that day on, every moment with him felt like a celebration. I dreamed of marrying him, introducing him to my family, and creating a life together.

But a year before our wedding, tragedy struck. I still remember the midnight phone call — the panic, the cold rush of fear. He survived… but lost the ability to walk.

At first, I was only grateful he was alive. Then came the whispers.

“You’re still young,” my mother said. “Don’t waste your future.”

“You’ll meet a normal man, have children, live happily,” she added.

But they couldn’t understand what I knew. I was already happy — completely. He was still the same man I loved, my strength, my home.

The wedding day arrived. Everything was perfect — the flowers, the music, the laughter of friends. He wore a crisp white shirt with suspenders; I stood in white, eyes locked on him. Yet I could feel the stares. They looked at me with sympathy, with quiet pity.

It hurt — but I stood tall, because he was beside me.

Then, halfway through the ceremony, something extraordinary happened.

After our first dance — him in his chair, spinning me to the rhythm — he asked for the microphone.

“I have a surprise for you,” he said, voice trembling. “I hope you’re ready.”

His brother stepped forward and helped him up. I froze. Everyone did.

He stood — slowly, shakily — taking one step, then another, clinging to his brother’s arm. Step by step, he reached me.

“I promised I’d do this for you,” he whispered through tears. “Just once — on my own. Because you believed in me when no one else did.”

The room fell silent before erupting in sobs and applause. I dropped to my knees and held him tightly, overwhelmed.

From that day on, everything changed. Because I learned something powerful — miracles do exist. Especially when love is real.
