Paralyzed dad 'thrilled' to dance with daughter on wedding day

A bride's first dance was made extra special on her big wedding day.

In 2007, Chavuanne Cousins' father became paralyzed in a ski accident in 2007. The father of four daughters loved skiing, often hitting the slopes twice a week during the winter months.

When Cousins got engaged, her father worried how he would able to have the first dance with his oldest daughter.

The wedding day went off without a hitch and the two enjoyed a father-daughter dance inside the reception in New York to Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life."

"She's made me so proud. I was thrilled to be there," the father said.
