A Reddit post about a couple who married twice brought an old love story back into focus. Users on r/BeAmazed revisited Laura and Brayden Faganello’s story, with many reacting to its unusual second romance. As of publication, the post had drawn more than 10,000 upvotes.
The story resurfaced again on Reddit. The post described how Laura lost memories after a steel pole struck her head in 2017. The accident happened nine months after their wedding. According to a 2019 Church News report, Laura believed she was 17 and could not remember Brayden
To Laura, the man she married had become a stranger. She could not remember their relationship, wedding or life together. The post said Brayden avoided pressuring her to recover those memories.
Instead, he moved into another room and supported Laura while she recovered. Laura eventually removed her wedding rings because the marriage felt dishonest without her memories. She then asked Brayden if they could start over.
That decision meant the couple had to rebuild their relationship from scratch. They went on dates, talked for hours and gradually learned about each other again.
Laura eventually fell in love with Brayden a second time. Brayden later proposed again, and the couple held another wedding ceremony.
Reddit Users Had Plenty to Say About Starting Over
One commenter wrote, “The patience to have the same courtship again is astounding.” A third commenter kept the reaction simple, writing, “the brain forgets but the heart remembers.” Another Reddit user wrote, “I’d absolutely take it.”
Several users called the story sweet. Others compared it with familiar movies about memory loss and romance. The post also sparked questions about whether the story happened. One Reddit user initially questioned the lack of sourcing. That commenter later edited the post after finding additional reports about the couple.
Another user shared a personal experience involving a partner who lost years of memories after an accident. The commenter said their relationship changed, but their love remained.
Would someone choose the same partner without remembering their shared history? For Laura and Brayden, the answer became yes.
The 2019 Church News report documented the couple’s story. It covered Laura’s memory loss, their decision to date again and Brayden’s second proposal. The report also said the couple remarried after rebuilding their relationship.
