'It proves hate won't win': Couple marry 9 months after surviving deadly car attack on anti-fascist

protesters at Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville



A couple who survived the deadly white supremacist car attack during clashes in Charlottesville last summer finally got to tie the knot on Saturday.

Marcus Martin, who was pictured mid-air in a powerful photo taken when the Dodge Challenger struck on August 12, married his fiancée Marissa Blair in Gordonsville, Virginia, during an outdoor ceremony paid for by well-wishers.

Martin, 26, pushed Blair, 27, out of the way when the car struck. He suffered a broken leg while the couple's friend, 32-year-old paralegal and fellow anti-fascist protester Heather Heyer, was killed.

I recognized him immediately from that haunting attack photo without having to see it! His face in that shot was haunting. That's the only way I can describe it.

Seeing this same person get to experience one of the happiest moments of their lives is so refreshing and shows that love will always triumph over hate!
