Guys, the bar has been raised. Within hours of being in a head-on crash, Kapri DeRamus lay in an Orlando hospital bed with two broken arms, injured ribs and a broken jaw but still said “I do.”<\/p>\n

DeRamus’ marriage Tyasia Thomas had been scheduled for 4:30 p.m., but on his way the groom was involved in a head-on crash in Altamonte Springs.<\/p>\n

His car was left crumpled on State Road 436 in following a serious head-on crash. First responders rushed him to Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC)<\/p>\n

Fox 35 Orlando reported that rather postpone the nuptials the couple tied the knot after hospital nurses built a makeshift bouquet out of potted plants, and the staff played music on their phones.<\/p>\n

“I look at the pictures of his car, and I see where he was sitting, and it just looks like God just wrapped His arms around him in that front seat,” the bride told the TV station.<\/p>\n

DeRamus remained focused on the big picture. “I’m just so thankful and just very, very fortunate to be alive,” he said.<\/p>\n
