Marine Corporal Juan Dominguez lost both legs and his right arm in 2010 when he stepped on an IED during a tour of Afghanistan. This didn’t stop him from finding true love a few months later, when he met his girlfriend, Alexis. After proposing to Alexis in 2013, Dominguez’s hometown of Temecula, California came together and gave the couple a dream wedding.
The community donated around $35,000 to the happy couple, paying for the food, venue, cake, photos, and a videographer to capture this beautiful moment on film. There were, however, a few things Dominguez insisted on giving Alexis himself: “They wanted to buy her the ring and her dress, but I wanted to take care of that myself,” Juan said.

It takes a special community like Temecula to brighten someone’s life. Juan and Alexis are lucky to have so much love in their lives.
