Good NewsMan to wed his wife a second time after crash causes amnesia
Second time’s the charm.
A Tennessee man and his wife are getting married for the second time in a year after the bride was injured in a car accident and lost all memory of their wedding.
The groom, Jeremy Stamper, has launched a GoFundMe page in the hopes of raising $5,000 so that his wife, Justice, can have “the perfect wedding (again).” As Stamper explains on the crowdsourced funding page, his wifewas driving to meet him after work, just three weeks after the wedding, when it happened.
“She was yielding to oncoming traffic to turn left on a side road when she was rear-ended at a dead stop,” he wrote. “She was nearly killed in the impact but by the grace of God she survived.”
Jeremy called the injuries “endless,” but said that she has finally been released from her physical treatments.
About a month after the accident, and barely two months after their ceremony, Justice told him the debilitating truth.
“I don’t want you to be mad… but I don’t remember the wedding.”
Jeremy was “heartbroken” upon hearing this, but without a second thought he told her that he would “do it all again for her.”
His wife has memory loss from about five weeks before the wedding, he said, and she “didn’t even know [they] were married.”
“I promised I would take care of her, and now here we are: The Stamper Wedding Round 2.”
Their $5,000 goal has already been met, with more than 200 people contributing.
Jeremy updated the page and, as a thank you, asked the supporters who are “seriously interested” in attending their wedding and reception to contact him as soon as possible.
“I’m so blessed that [God] has made this possible for us,” Jeremy wrote. “Thank you to everyone who has been generous and supportive to us. Thank you all.”
