1. The first dance of the couple at the wedding is not surprising for most couples who marry, but not for Michelle and Joey. The fact is that Joey Johnson - the groom - cannot walk, he is disabled. However, on this special day, with the help of his friends, 27-year-old Joey got out of his wheelchair to dance his first dance with his young wife. (Photo: LinneaLiz Wedding Photography).
2. Joey is known for not being good at keeping secrets, and this time he's outdone himself. A few weeks before the wedding, and it took place on June 28, 2014, he, along with his friends, made a very tricky device that helped him, paralyzed from the waist down, get up and stay on his feet for several minutes.

6. “When Michelle entered the hall, absolute silence reigned in it. It took her a moment to realize what was happening, and then she saw Joey standing and a wide smile appeared on her face. And then she started crying. Everyone in the room started crying. Joey's army friends kept him on special tension straps that allowed him to stand, which further heated up the emotions. It was a beautiful dance that made an amazing impression,” said photographer Jennifer Davis from the LinneaLiz photography studio. (Photo: LinneaLiz Wedding Photography).
7. Joey Johnson served 10 months in the US military mission in Afghanistan - at the Salerno base in Khowst. After returning from the war, he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. As the Huffington Post wrote, in order to cope with his psychological problems, Joey took up a hobby - riding a motorcycle, which gave him the adrenaline rush that was lacking after the war. A few weeks after returning from Afghanistan, in the spring of 2012, he met Michelle at a country music concert. (Photo: LinneaLiz Wedding Photography).
