Couple Weds Again After Wife Suffers Amnesia
A woman who could not remember her wedding after a car accident that caused her to lose her memory, walked down the aisle a second time so she could have a big day she would not forget.
Justice Stamper, 20, of Virginia was nearly killed in a car crash in Bristol, Tennessee last August, only 19 days after she married her husband, 21-year-old Jeremy.
She was severely injured and suffered from amnesia, as doctors pinpointed she cannot remember anything from five weeks before her August 1 nuptials.
On Saturday, marking their one-year wedding anniversary, the couple had a second wedding held at Hungry Mother State Park in Marion.

The Stampers' sunflower themed wedding was the same as their first nuptials, although the bride wore a new dress on the day of the Stamper Wedding Round 2, according to TODAY.
'Consider this the best gift that Jeremy could give you - your wedding back,' the couple's pastor said during the ceremony, WCYB reported.
The idea for a second wedding came up following a conversation the couple had when Justice Stamper, following the accident, admitted she had forgotten their wedding day.
She summoned the courage one month after the crash to admit to her groom, that she had suffered a mild form of amnesia.
'She said ''I don't want you to be mad... but I don't remember the wedding'',' Jeremy Stamper recalled.
'I was heartbroken and instantly said I would do it all again for her.'
Without telling his wife, Jeremy Stamper started a Go Fund Me page in May asking for help from family, friends and the public in helping to pay for a second wedding. He raised $9,340 in donations.
'I picked up the phone and, in about ten minutes, I had the entire wedding, just about everything donated,' he told TODAY.
