While everyone's journey to their wedding day is different, Kyle and Mallory's wedding journey is perhaps the most inspirational one we've been a part of. This is defiantly a wedding video that will make you cry. All you need is Love, and with it, everything thing is possible, even miracles.
Below is the news story provided by WIBW in Topeka, Kansas.
Mallory Mitchell and Kyle Hammer head outside whenever they can to practice walking down the hill behind the home of Mallory's parents in St. Marys.
It was the path they planned to take in September, on what was supposed to be their wedding day. But they had no idea "in sickness and in health" would be tested before they even spoke the vows.
"Mallory went in to get her wisdom teeth removed over spring break," Kyle recalls of the March day that would change their lives.
The procedure is considered fairly routine for a 21-year-old college student like Mallory. Only, in her case, some sort of complication sent Mallory into cardiac arrest. Kyle was at work, and received a message from Mallory's dad, John, that he and Mallory's mom, Cindi, were headed to the hospital.
"When I got there, Mallory was intubated and had a machine breathing for her," Kyle says. "It was heartbreaking."
Still, two days later, Mallory woke up and seemed okay, with just some slight speech and coordination issues.
She went to a rehab hospital, but a day in, she started to have seizures. After several days in Stormont Vail's ICU, she was flown to University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City.
Mallory had suffered a severe brain injury.
"I still remember, I want to say the first week and a half, two weeks, of her therapy at Madonna - her therapy was they stood in front of her, clapped their hands, made loud noises - just to try to get her to open her eyes," Kyle said. "Watching her starting to walk again has probably been one of the most rewarding things to sit back and watch. It's just flat out amazing what she has accomplished to this point."
Her family says it's nothing short of a miracle. With faith, hard work, and a community rallying around her, Mallory came home in October.
Mallory is working to strengthen her voice, but signed and spoke, "Thank you" when asked what she wanted people to know. She attends speech therapy twice a week, and her parents take her to physical and occupational therapy three days a week.
The next bridge she'll cross is walking down that hill, on her own, on her wedding day - and Kyle will guide her toward that goal, as long as it takes.
"That's easy...she's the same girl," he said. "When you love somebody as much as I love Mallory, this is what you do - you stick with it, you stick together."
In addition, Lake Tawakoni Guide Service in North Texas donated two guiding fishing trips as a benefit for Mallory. People may enter to win for a $10 donation through
