Nothing was going to stop this groom from making his wedding day one of the best days of his life!
Not even the fact that he’s paralyzed from the chest down after an accident that happened three years ago!
With a little help from a battery-powered robotic exoskeleton, Matt Ficarra was able to walk down the aisle at his wedding on Saturday!

No amount of tissues will be enough for this doozy.
This incredible journey started in December after his engagement, Matt vowed he wouldn’t roll down the aisle in a wheelchair.
A few months later the New Yorker drove seven hours (weekly!) to a rehabilitation center in Allentown, Pennsylvania to practice walking with Ekso, the robotic exoskeleton that helped him walk on his big day.
Then on the day of his wedding, Matt was able to walk down the aisle to meet his bride at the altar and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
Watch Matt as he takes his steps (below)!
