This was great! You are so pretty! I have the highest respect for Joe but then again, how could not want to spend life with you. You are not the first couple I've know like you are but also know one that it's the guy in the chair. Now that's different :) Say great as you have been. You guys are great examples that Love works :)

[@EmpoweredPara]

Thanks! We work at making our marriage good and I think that's the key!

You both shine with the Light that Lights the Life of Men, the Spirit Within! Both of you are physically beautiful, but your Inner Spirit outshines the external. God bless you both, and your wonderful family! ❤️

This is such a beautiful video that we've had to watch it numerous times, even tho' we wish it was longer. The title is sooo right! Hard in 2023 to ever imagine you as self-conscious like you were when you came down the aisle with your dad; you are so self-assured now as per your channel. We love the photos on the beach with you and your hubby!

[@westiepower2020]

A question came to me today because of something that my wife felt today. You say in this video that you didn't like people looking at you back then, to the point you seem to be at today when you say that your wheelchair is an asset as it helps people remember who you are. My wife fluctuates back and forth on how she feels about wearing a brace on her leg. She got her newest custom-made brace made in a bright blue paisley pattern as she quite often feels good about it being visible as she wears Capris most of the summer. But today she felt self-conscious about it. It may have been partly because the event she went to (bridal shower) were mostly people who were unknown to her, and that they were relatively rich as they talked about what they wore as being bought in Venice, New York and London England. But I could tell she was self-conscious about it. She probably needs someone like you to be an example for her. How long did it take you to change from being self-conscious to being the self-assured person you are today?

[@EmpoweredPara]

I'm still self conscious sometimes. We all are. Give her a break lol

@@EmpoweredPara This person was paralyzed too and these stilts didn't get her off the ground no higher than if she was walking lol... They just kept her legs stiff so that she could walk with a walker up to the altar. Now I can't figure out who that was lol

Hope to catch you this sunday; it's funny to me how you "the english" can't pronounce the words right in spanish/spaniard. Where ever you see a ' ` ' there's where the strong voice falls, i.e. 'Conmoción' = conmotion, in spanish/spaniard the strong voice would fall over that 'ón', like any word that haves that ' ´ ', it's just funny, to me.

[@EmpoweredPara]

interesting! I'll keep that in mind if I ever learn Spanish!

[@michakov2387]

What made you pick Mexico since you had never been before just curious? I love tropical locations I live in Massachusetts close to Boston so kinda similar climate to Canada. I’ve always loved spending time in Florida and would love to live somewhere tropical with lovely beaches. You looked gorgeous in that dress such lovely photos.

[@EmpoweredPara]

Mostly cost. It was cheap and Joe spent a month backpacking there when he was younger so he was familiar with it.
