When you stood up in front of your wedding guests and said your vows to your partner, did you actually mean every word? It's a fair question because when you say, "for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part..." you're actually expected to live the rest of your life that way.

With the number of marriages that end in divorce these past couple of decades, it's hard to take wedding vows seriously, that is until you see just how strongly this couple took theirs.

Jonathan Grant and his wife, Laura Browning-Grant were happily married, and completely in love with each other. Grant, a NAVY seal, and Browning-Grant a Pilates teacher had what you could consider the perfect, storybook life. That is until a terrible accident changed the course of their life together, forever.

This past March, Jonathan Grant was involved in car accident that left him fighting for his life. He was bleeding in his brain, and was in a coma. Doctors said that he had a slim chance of surviving the ordeal, but 17 days after the accident, he squeezed his wife Laura's hand.

Since the accident, Jonathan has been going through what can only be described as intense physical therapy, and Laura has been right by his side the entire time. The hard work has been paying off, this past summer, with the help of his physical therapist, Jonathan was able to not only stand, but hold and kiss his wife.

"We hadn't been able to stand and hold each other since before the accident, but as soon as we got him up, he started kissing my neck," said Laura. "It gave me the chills "” him kissing me back, you don't realize how much that means until it's almost taken away from you."

This is not the life that either of them originally signed up for, but when the married they vowed to be with each other until death, and they are most assuredly keeping their words.

Share this beautiful love story.
