Paraplegic veteran from Fishers surprises bride with wheelchair-free dance
Sgt. Joe Johnson, who served in Afghanistan, pulled off a wedding surprise his wife, Michelle, will never forget.
He joined her for their first dance without a wheelchair.
Johnson, 27, suffered a spinal cord injury in a motorcycle accident shortly after returning from overseas.
He suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in Afghanistan and rode motorcycles for the rush.
"I was going too fast on a curvy road," said Joe in an interview with Fox59 News.

"Sunglasses blew off. I was wearing no helmet."
Now he can't feel anything below his chest and is confined to a wheelchair. Johnson said Michelle, who was his girlfriend at the time, was a big support system for him.
"She was there from day one to 100 and never left my side," he said.
"And I couldn't think of anyone else that I wanted to be with."
Soon after, they were engaged.
