Couple who wed despite all odds after groom's debilitating accident make touching video of their incredible love story
-Larissa Murphy feared she'd never marry Ian after he suffered a horrific brain injury while driving to work near Pittsburgh.
-Larissa moved in with Ian and his family and vowed they would marry if he ever learned to communicate again.
-Eventually they sought and won permission from a judge to marry and have told their amazing story in a video so incredible it has received over 800,000 views.
-'Though we chose marriage, we chose it sadly': Larissa must now be the breadwinner and caretaker in her new family as she watches her friends live the life she thought she's one day have with Ian.
The way they were: Larissa and Ian met in college in 2005 and 10 months later already had plans to get engaged. But their plans came to an abrupt halt when Ian suffered a debilitating brain injury
Hopeful: Larissa moved into Ian's family's home to help take care of him and waited for him to improve. If he could communicate, she said, then they could make a marriage work
True love: 'I still don't think that Ian would have ever left me if the role had been reversed. And walking away from my best friend was never truly an option,' says Larissa
Larissa says she and Ian were dating 'very intentionally' by 2006 and--despite Ian's subsequent debilitating injuries that keep him from communicating even remotely normally--they were married
