36-year-old Justin Reid and 31-year-old Victoria Hemenes planned to ride a motorbike up the aisle.
Three weeks before their wedding, the couple and their friends decided to ride to the camping ground they had hired for their wedding in Silver Fork Ranch, Kyburz, California.
The couple was returning home after enjoying their ride when they collided with a deer.
The couple sustained serious injuries. Despite their injuries and totaling their Harley Davidson, the couple tied the knot three weeks after the incident.
Justin told SWNS: “Even if we had to be carried down the aisle on gurneys, we were going to have our wedding.”
“Victoria had been into bikes before but I have been a bike enthusiast for quite a few years now. When we decided to get married, I knew I wanted a biker-themed wedding.”
“We didn’t want a normal wedding. We wanted a weekend-long festival. The original idea was to have my motorcycle parked in the aisle and have the groomsmen and bridesmaids ride their bikes up to us.
”
The couple tied the knot with a biker-themed on 17 August. Justin was still sporting a cast on his arm.
Talking about the incident, Justin said: “It was a beautiful ride and there was an awesome sunset. All of a sudden this deer was in our headlights. I was trying to dodge around it but I didn’t have enough time. I turned into the middle of the deer, put my head down and went for it.”
“I was steering to the right and I couldn’t do anything about it.
We were heading into the forest. We hit one of the reflective markers on the side of the road and it cut my left arm open and sliced Victoria’s knee. We fell off and the bike flipped over.”
Despite their serious injuries, the couple tied the know with a biker-themed wedding which was officiated by their friend who asked: ‘Justin, do you take Victoria as your ‘ride or die’? And Victoria, do you take Justin as your ‘ride-or-die’?’
