ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. (WESH) \u2014 A couple married in a hospital last weekend after the groom was seriously injured in a head-on collision on his way to their wedding venue.<\/p>\n
Kapri DeRamus was driving near Hermits Trail and State Road 436 in Altamonte Springs when he was struck head-on and rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was nothing but God that got me through this,\u201d DeRamus said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just in my own little world, and out of nowhere, man, just got struck by a car, and not even, you know, not even thinking at the time, not even knowing what\u2019s going on. I was so delirious,\u201d DeRamus said.<\/p>\n
His bride-to-be, Tyasia Thomas, was in her wedding dress and ready to walk down the aisle when she got into her car and followed the ambulance to the hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was able to follow it in and watch them unload him from the back of the ambulance. But just seeing him in that state was very, very traumatizing, and I remember in the car just saying, like, my biggest fear is losing him,\u201d Thomas said.<\/p>\n
A few hours later, after DeRamus woke up, the couple agreed they still wanted to get married, regardless of location. They were married at the hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn that hour, it was like everything was at peace for a minute, just being with him,\u201d Thomas said.<\/p>\n
DeRamus underwent three surgeries for broken arms, ribs and a jaw.<\/p>\n
\u201cThroughout all of the trauma that I\u2019m dealing with, I want to have this ring on, and it signifies the love that we have for each other. Six strong years, and just a lifetime ahead of us,\u201d DeRamus said.<\/p>\n
The couple\u2019s attorneys said they are waiting for final reports before deciding whether to pursue legal action.<\/p>\n
