What might have been the worst day of her life led this Boston Marathon bombing victim to the love of her life.

Roseann Sdoia had been standing near the finish line in April 2013 to cheer on her friend who was running when the pressure-cooker bombs went off, leaving her with injuries that required the amputation of her leg.

After the bombs went off, a firefighter, Mike Materia, rushed to help her. However, the ambulances were all full, so a Boston police officer commandeered an empty police van, while Materia lifted her into the paddy wagon. He stayed by her side as they rode to the hospital, holding her burned hand, and told her everything would be OK.

Even though love was the last thing on her mind, that was the moment that would eventually lead to them getting engaged.
