A Scottish bride with a rare condition that causes her joints to dislocate hundreds of times a day had her wedding dream come true by walking on her own down the aisle.

Allan was diagnosed with the condition, which also causes seizers, when she was 15. Doctors told her she would be in a wheelchair by age 20, according to the report.
Despite the risk, the 24-year-old was determined to walk on her own as soon as her fiancee, 26-year-old Shaun Marshall, proposed last October.
“When he proposed, I promised myself I wouldn’t be relying on my chair on the day and would walk down the aisle to be his wife,” Allan said.
The bride, who is from Edinburgh, suffered two dislocated knees along the way.
“It did cause me great discomfort and I did end up saying my vows with two dislocated knees, but it was worth it,” she told The Daily Record.
The couple met online in 2012, and Shaun has become Natalie’s full-time caregiver.
“Just a sneeze can pop out a rib, a shoulder, finger or knee,” she said. “It is very painful and I suffer seizures when I dislocate multiple joints at a time.”
Shaun told the news site he was very proud of his new bride.
“We had a wonderful day, and it meant the world to me that I got the man and wedding of my dreams,” Allan said.

Wedding
A wedding is a ceremony where people are united in marriage. Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures. ethnic groups. religions, countries, and social classes. Most wedding ceremonies involve an exchange of wedding vows by the couple, presentation of a gift (offering, ring(s), symbolic item, flowers, money), and a public proclamation of marriage by an authority figure or leader. Special wedding garments are often worn, and the ceremony is sometimes followed by a wedding reception. Music, poetry, prayers or readings from religious texts or literature are also commonly incorporated into the ceremony.
Common elements across cultures [ edit ]
Many cultures have adopted the traditional Western custom of the white wedding. when the bride wears a white wedding dress and veil. Painting by Edmund Leighton (1853–1922)
A number of cultures have adopted the traditional Western custom of the white wedding. in which a bride wears a white wedding dress and veil. This tradition was popularized through the wedding of Queen Victoria. Some say Victoria's choice of a white gown may have simply been a sign of extravagance, but may have also been influenced by the values she held which emphasized sexual purity. [ 1 ] Within the modern 'white wedding' tradition, a white dress and veil are unusual choices for a woman's second or subsequent wedding.
The use of a wedding ring has long been part of religious weddings in Europe and America, but the origin of the tradition is unclear. One possibility is the Roman belief in the Vena Amoris, which was believed to be a blood vessel that ran from the fourth finger (ring finger) directly to the heart, thus when a couple wore rings on this finger their hearts were connected. [ 2 ] Historian Vicki Howard points out that the belief in the "ancient" quality of the practice is most likely a modern invention. [ 3 ] "Double ring" ceremonies are also a modern practice, a groom's wedding band not appearing in the United States until the early 20th century. [ 4 ]
The wedding ceremony is often followed by a drinks reception then a wedding breakfast. in which the rituals may include speeches from the groom, best man, father of the bride and possibly the bride, [ 5 ] the newlyweds first dance as a couple, and the cutting of an elegant wedding cake .

Old English bryd "bride, betrothed or newly married woman," from Proto-Germanic *bruthiz "woman being married" (cf. Old Frisian breid. Dutch bruid. Old High German brut. German Braut "bride"). Gothic cognate bru? s. however, meant "daughter-in-law," and the form of the word borrowed from Old High German into Medieval Latin ( bruta ) and Old French ( bruy ) had only this sense. In ancient Indo-European custom, the married woman went to live with her husband's family, so the only "newly wed female" in such a household would have been the daughter-in-law. On the same notion, some trace the word itself to the PIE verbal root *bru - "to cook, brew, make broth," as this likely was the daughter-in-law's job.

New York bride-to-be postpones nuptials to search for missing dad
A New York bride-to-be is putting her wedding plans on hold while she searches for her father, who disappeared hours after being fitted for a tuxedo for her special day.

“He had gone that morning and actually called and talked to me about his tux. He was excited for it,” Suzanne told WCBS-TV. She said he had even chosen the song for the father/daughter dance at her wedding.
Locascio lived with his wife Barbara in Cornwall, a town about 50 miles north of New York City. He was a bank courier on his way to his office in Peekskill when he disappeared. Barbara Locascio wonders if her husband became disoriented.
“He’s a diabetic,” Barbara Locascio told the station. “He hadn’t had lunch. He works crazy hours. He had been up since two in the morning.”
Locascio was having financial problems. The wife said the family home was in foreclosure. The daughter noted that her father was not paying for the wedding, which was planned for October.
State Police told WCBS that they have not ruled out anything, from foul play to suicide to a horrible accident.
