During his last year of high school, Ryan Estep was involved in an automobile accident that left him with injuries that left him paralyzed from the waist down. It had a significant impact on every aspect of his life.

However, he did not let this to prevent him from pursuing the goals he had set for himself. He made the decision to start fencing, which led to him finally competing in the Paralympic Games in the sport in 2012.

When it comes to achieving one’s objectives, he also works as a motivational speaker and maintains that having the right mental attitude is critical.

But Ryan believes that his greatest achievement is the fact that he managed to win Chandler, his wife, over to his side. Ryan said that in order to ultimately get her to agree to go on a date with him, he had to almost beg her, but once she did, that was the end of the story.

After dating for a year, Ryan surprised Chandler with a vacation during which he intended to pop the question.

During the ceremony of their marriage, Ryan had another surprise in store for Chandler. When it came time for the newlyweds to have their first dance, Ryan stood up with the assistance of several of his close pals.

Shared by Chandler: “When I saw his companions pull their seats next him, I lost it! All that I wanted to do was put my arms around him and dance with him,” she said.

During the moment, Ryan, too, found himself overcome with emotion, “the moment she put her arms around me, it was as if time had stopped. “
