A totally paralysed man, Joel Jackson, danced with his wife, Lauren, for the first time in six years thanks to a ‘zero-gravity’ harness at his rehabilitation gym.
A video, which shows them swaying to their wedding song, Edwin McCain's "I'll Be" has gone viral.
Joel was left paralysed following a horrific car accident that separated his spine from head. Lauren, who knew him from the age 14, married him, in 2013, though he was bed ridden. The couple have been together since then and are very much in love.
When they got married Lauren had told Joel, "When you can walk, I want you to dance with me."
