A couple were forced to postpone their wedding after a horror smash put the groom in hospital weeks before the big day. James Barlow was told he was 'lucky to survive' after a 60mph crash involving his motorbike and a car.
The 36-year-old had to be airlifted to hospital and suffered life-changing injuries. He was still in hospital on the day he should have been exchanging vows with Nicole Barlow, then Simpson.
The couple were able to marry a year later, but Nicole admits her life partner 'could have died' in the collision. She said: “James doesn’t talk about the accident much - he doesn’t want to be defined by it.

"But he referred to it in his speech at our wedding and I realised we’re so lucky to be here - and lucky too that he’s recovered as fully as he has. It’s amazing to be finally married, especially when I remember that he could have died. It just made the wedding even more beautiful."
James and Nicole, 32, met in 2016 and got engaged in 2019. They set a date for August 29, 2020 but, on August 2, disaster struck. James was riding his motorbike on the A414, near Chelmsford, when he collided with a car.
James, an automotive design engineer from Chelmsford, Essex, said: "The police said I was lucky to survive. They said I used eight of my nine lives. I remember lying on the roadside and thinking 'oh this is a bad one - it's not just a little bump'. I feel very lucky that the first two people on the scene were nurses. Of all the people who use that busy road."
James was airlifted to hospital, where he was ventilated for ten
