Guests at a wedding in Queensland, Australia, wore blackout masks as a gesture of solidarity with bride, who lost her sight at the age of 27.
According to the Daily Mail report, the 32-year-old Stephanie Agnew, who wed Robbie Campbell, developed cone-rod dystrophy, a genetic eye disorder that claimed her vision, leaving her only able to see light and dark outlines. Her mom is totally blind.
Robbie made an announcement on his Facebook post, saying: "When we lose one of our senses, the others become heightened. This allows us to experience something as beautiful as these vows in a totally unique way. Today, we get to experience them from Steph's perspective."
"When we lose one of our senses, the others become heightened. This allows us to experience something as beautiful as these vows in a totally unique way."
Although the request was certainly out of the ordinary for attendees, it meant a lot to Robbie as well as Stephanie's mom, who, like her daughter, went blind from cone-rod dystrophy.
"I couldn't control my emotions as she walked down the aisle," Robbie told The Daily Mail.
"She looked like a true princess bride in the dress. The blindfolds were received well by the guests as they were experiencing that moment in the same way Steph and her mum, who is also blind, were experiencing it."
For Stephanie, who's never seen her husband, the moment was one she'll never forget.
"I've never seen him. I know his build," Stephanie said. "He is 6 foot 4 inches and I am 5 foot 4 inches, so he is a lot taller than me. And I know he has broad shoulders, but other than that I have to rely on descriptions. Everyone has hurdles so it's important to dig deep within yourself and understand that life can be hard but there are always ways to deal with things."
