Groom, Matt Ficarra has been paralyzed from chest down since an accident three years ago, but that didn't stop him from walking down the aisle.
Ficarra was able to stand and walk at the ceremony with the help of a robotic-like device called an Ekso.
The battery-powered Ekso is portable and straps onto Ficarra allowing to walk normal gait. Although he had two therapist behind him in case.
"I feel great to be married and I am so happy to have met my goal of walking at my wedding", says Ficarra who broke his neck in boating accident in 2011.
