SMITHDALE --A Mississippian who lost both legs in Iraq has married his girlfriend in a hospital-room ceremony.
Army Spec. Josh A. Wells, 21, married Brandi M. Clark, 19, in a Nov. 20 ceremony at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.
Wells was injured in a Nov. 2 attack on the Stryker Light Armored Vehicle he was driving.
The couple dated throughout Wells' previous deployment to Germany and were engaged in July, with a plan to marry upon his return from an 18-month tour of duty in Iraq.

"The first day she got here, she came with my family and it was the first time seeing me" since the injury, Wells said. "Brandi asked everyone to leave the room and I didn't know why." Wells' fears were quickly dispelled.
"Brandi got down on one knee and she proposed to me," he said. "She said this is her way of letting me know, legs or no legs, we had both discussed that we were gonna get married when I got back."

Don’t like her name but she surely sounds like a class act.

I wish them MANY, MANY years of joy and happiness. No matter what trials and tribulations are in their future, they have something no one can take away from them.

I didn’t even read the article, but I am crying just from what has been posted. Prayers up! These kids are facing a long hard road, but God will provide.
To: Islander7
Marrying young can be tough. May God help them get through their struggles and bless them with a long and wonderful life together.

I
know his family is proud. I am, and I don't even know him.
Dare anybody to read this one without tearing up.
I'm wondering if he could receive cards at this addy, or if it would need to be more specific?

I seem to be having the same problem. Is this an XP thing, or do I have to get special glasses...

Thanks for the ping. Seems it might be an XP issue — it’s happening here too.
