This Paraplegic Dude And His Girl Absolutely NAILED Their Pregnancy Announcement
Someecards – Amanda Diesen and Todd Krieg recently arranged a photo shoot to announce both their pregnancy and engagement. With so much good news to share, they knew they had to step up and knock this photo out of the park—and they did. Their photo was uploaded by a close friend to Reddit, where it’s going wildly viral. It’s not hard to understand why.
The couple met after a 2014 accident tragically cut Krieg’s professional motocross career short, paralyzing him from the chest down. Diesen was his physical therapist in rehab, where they fell in love. After he was discharged, she moved cross-country to be with him. And although doctors said it would be almost impossible for them to conceive naturally, Krieg proved to them that, in his words, “It still works.”
As a single person in his early 30s, I’ve seen a lot of engagement photos, pregnancy announcements, Christmas cards, those stupid chalk drawings of fruits to show how big the baby is inside a girl, every possible dumb configuration of the things people do to update others on their major life milestones. And I’ve never seen one where I’m like “Ha yeah, that is very inventive and great.” Until now. This pregnancy announcement cracked me up but the added bonus of this dude somehow pulling his hot wife while she was doing rehab with him for his paralysis? I mean can you even imagine how you’d handle a spot like that and the toll it would take on you? And not only was this guy able to get her on the hook in the situation, he overcame it all, got her to fall in love with him, AND he knocked her up against all odds. This guy Todd is a goddamn treasure and I’m about as happy for their pregnancy as I can be over another man’s loads dropped several hundred miles away. A real feel-good story all around, besides his legs.
PS This couple is also having a shotgun-esque wedding what with the unexpected babies and in some competition for a dream ceremony, might be a good Pay It Forward moment to vote for them here.
