| ROY Winsor - paralysed from the chest down in a car accident - has wed his childhood sweetheart Sally Llewellyn, despite not seeing her for 25 years. |
| The Nailsea couple first went out together as 16-year-old pupils at Nailsea School in 1975. |
| They met again on December 17 last year for the first time in a quarter of a century through a contact on the website Friends Reunited - and Roy proposed a mere 11 days later. |
| The couple married in the very room at Southfield Church, Southfield Road, where they were first introduced to each other all those years ago. |
| In November 2001, the Mercury ran an exclusive story about Roy, who was living in Tickenham and had gone from being a successful computer sales manager to a wheelchair-bound tetraplegic in a matter of seconds after a car accident. |
| Roy suffered a broken neck in a couple of places, which left movement in one arm, no use in his hands and paralysis from the chest down. |
| He had the accident in July 1998 and, after a total of nine months in spinal units in Salisbury and Wakefield, moved to his parents' home in Tickenham in April 1999. |
| They were struggling to cope because of their age and lack of financial support. |
| Now, Roy and Sally, both aged 43, have a new, adapted house in Yew Tree Gardens. |
