A blind bride brought the entire congregation into her world on her wedding day by inviting them to wear blindfolds. Her groom “saw” his bride for the first time by touching her exquisite dress with his hands, and the moment moved the room to tears.
Author of the book “Blind Not Broken,” Lucy Edwards, 27, married Ollie Cave, 26, at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew in London, England, on Aug. 31. Ms. Edwards, a blind broadcaster and disability activist, has a rare genetic skin condition incontinentia pigmenti (IP) that led to her losing sight in both eyes by age 17. Reconceptualizing her wedding day was a bittersweet experience.
