Paramedic Bride Delays Wedding Reception to Rush to Scene of Family's Car Crash
In Depth
Sarah Ray was on the way to celebrate her nuptials when duty called. The off-duty paramedic had just said “I do” when she received a call that turned her wedding day from joy to a tragedy—her father and grandparents had been in a car crash on their way to the reception.
According to US News & World Report, Ray—whose side-of-the-road wedding photo has gone viral this week—was devastated to hear of the accident and immediately dropped what she was doing to race to the scene of the crash with her new husband. Fortunately, Ray’s father and grandfather are fine and her grandmother, who sustained injuries from her seat belt and air bag, is expected to make a full recovery, but Ray’s dedication to her family, even on what’s often termed “the most important day” of someone’s life is a refreshing departure from all the bridezillas one sees on reality TV.
