This story of true love and dedication should give us all a reason to pause and reflect during our transition into a new year.

Keasha Ruteleage & Christopher Draft were married November 27, 2011 in Atlanta, GA.

Chris Draft, an 11 year NFL veteran married Keasha in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by family and friends.

During the wedding ceremony, Keasha wheeled her way down the aisle in a wheel chair, taking the last few steps to say her “I do’s” to the love of her life.
