“I said: ‘Mr. doctor, we will continue.’” Doctors had already given up on Johan (65), now he is marrying Rita (64).

Johan Callebaut (64) became paralyzed by Guillain-Barré syndrome, ended up in a coma and had to be resuscitated. The doctors thought: this isn’t going to work out. “They hinted that we should put him to sleep gently,” says his partner Rita. But look, now they’re planning their wedding. “If you had told me in intensive care that we would still get married, I would have thought you were crazy.” This is their miraculous love story that conquered death.
