Canadian couple Laura and Brayden Faganello remarkably married each other twice after a sudden tragedy completely erased Laura's memory.

In 2017, just nine months after their first wedding, a large steel pole collapsed onto Laura's head while she was setting up a corporate event in Victoria, British Columbia. The resulting traumatic brain injury was so severe that she woke up believing she was 17 years old, with absolutely no memory of meeting, loving, or marrying her husband. To Laura, Brayden was a complete stranger.

Instead of forcing her to remember their past, Brayden patiently stepped back and moved into the guest room, taking care of her as a supportive roommate. Eventually, Laura took off her wedding rings because wearing them felt dishonest to a marriage she couldn't recall. She asked Brayden if they could start fresh.

They began dating all over again from scratch—going on simple dates and sharing long conversations. Over the following months, Laura fell in love with Brayden a second time, entirely because of the kind and patient man he proved to be in the present. Brayden proposed to her once more, and the couple happily remarried in a second wedding ceremony.
