A couple who were tragically injured in a terrifying rollercoaster accident at Alton Towers nine years ago tied the knot this weekend, surrounded by their loved ones. Leah Washington and Joe Pugh, who shared news of their engagement in March 2022, marked their special day at the picturesque Woodlands Hotel in Leeds. Leah looked radiant in a beautiful white gown, complemented with a veil and delicate jewellery, and was captured smiling at the camera while holding her bouquet of pristine white roses.
Her now-husband Joe looked dapper in a tuxedo and bow tie for the occasion. Leah and Joe's engagement during a dreamy getaway in Italy two years ago was followed by a period where Leah felt she "drifted apart" from her now-husband Joe as she battled with the aftermath of her catastrophic injuries. The harrowing incident cost 26 year old Leah her leg, while Joe sustained severely shattered kneecaps and two broken fingers.
