Paralyzed Bride Finally Getting Married

Remember Rachelle Friedman, the aerobics instructor whose bridesmaids pushed her into a swimming pool, resulting in paralysis and an inability to marry, lest her fiance's income push her over the limit for Medicaid? After a year of physical therapy and a series of charitable donations, she is finally getting married. The AP reports:



A foundation called Walking with Anthony is aiding Rachelle's physical therapy. She tracks her progress, donors, and speaking engagements on her blog. She plays wheelchair rugby, uses a handcycle to go "biking" with her fiance, and reiterates that she doesn't blame her bridesmaids for anything: "She refuses to even call the act a prank because that would imply some devious intent."
