Dream Wedding Gifted To Juan Dominguez, Marine Corporal And Triple Amputee (VIDEO)

Marine Corporal and triple amputee Juan Dominguez and his now-wife, Alexis Dominguez, were given a huge gift by their community last month.

Juan lost both of his legs and his right arm when he stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED) while serving in Afghanistan in 2010. To show their gratitude for his service, residents of Temecula, Calif. pitched in $30,000 in goods and services to give Juan and Alexis an incredible Big Day.

"Every girl wants a dream wedding, and this is my dream wedding," Alexis says in the video above. "Especially because I'm marrying the man of my dreams."

Watch the video to see how the wedding came together, then click through the slideshow below to see some of our favorite nuptial moments from 2012.
