Jamie Nieto, a former Olympic high jumper who was paralyzed in April 2016 when he misjudged a backflip and fell on his head, walked his wife Shevon down the aisle at their wedding Saturday.
According to the Associated Press (via ESPN.com), Nieto took approximately 130 steps holding Shevon's hand without any assistance from a cane or a walker.
"It's a monumental day, so I think I need to do monumental things," Nieto said prior to the ceremony, according to the AP. "I'm definitely blessed and super happy to be here. I've worked really hard to get to this point, and I think it's just the first step to many more in my recovery.
