A woman who survived a vicious attack by an ex-boyfriend has officially tied the knot with a first responder who helped save her life.
In January 2012, Melissa Dohme was rushed to a hospital after her ex-boyfriend stabbed her 32 times in the neck, arms, face and hands. According to her Facebook page, she flat-lined four times at the hospital after the attack.
Cameron Hill was one of the EMTs who saved her after the attack. The two met again later that year, in October and went on their first date in December.
Hill proposed to Dohme at a Tampa Bay Rays baseball game in 2015.

Best wishes to the couple. It is so nice that they are getting married, instead of just being “in a relationship.”
Stabbed 32 times and lived!!!
She should become a rapper :)
Happy story.
I wonder how they happened to meet again later on that year, but i’m too lazy to open the link :)
Thread hijack alert: I wonder, what do women think about these kind of ballpark proposals? I briefly toyed with this idea when I thought about proposing to my (now) wife, but rejected it because I thought it might be forcing the issue so to speak. I mean it seems to put the woman on the spot, big time. How could one be sure her “yes” was real and not just going with the crowd, literally?
What do women think though? Romantic or just another dumb man’s idea?
I don’t think it’s a ‘dumb’ idea, but there are women who wouldn’t want such a personal moment to be made into a public spectacle. I wouldn’t want it.
(And if you aren’t sure she would say yes, maybe there’s something not quite right in the lines of communication...)
Not my kind of thing, but then, I probably wouldn’t be at the stadium, anyway - not much for spectator sports.
Every day I get what they do even more and love them them more.
Mazeltov! too the young couple, and may their walk together be graced with sunshine....
lol
funny that you posted that.. because I was thinking the SAME thing! that is EXACTLY the body type that gets fat later. She IS very pretty, BUT she wont stay that way for long.
Great collage.
There was a sports arena proposal a year or too ago where the girl said “No.” How awkward for her and totally embarrassing for him. Lesson from the story: Don’t even think about it unless you are 110% certain the answer will be “Yes.”
Plenty of videos where the woman said NO or ran off in absolute fear in front of thousands of people.
Beautiful woman, i hope the ex boyfriend got what he deserved.
It shouldn’t be a public proposal. Personal and private.
Funny had same experience:
Years ago I was introduced to an attractive,pretty, average sized woman.
I did notice her ankles were kinda “puffy” but she was avg overall.
We got along fine and dated for a while and one day I went to her house and got to meet her teenage daughter.
A teenager that was extremely pretty in the face but obese.As in HUGE.
I weaned off the relationship.
I left the area and a few years latter met up with the matchmaker bud and asked about her.
He said she had become obese and said,”Man you did the right thing”.
I told him about the ankles.
My deer ole Maw us’tah say, ‘look at their mother to see what they will look like after having children”
Maw was right again.
J Giles used to say “1st I look at the purse”.
I say 1st I look at the ankles and the Mom.
Maybe vain on my part but I don’t like big/fat/buxom, call it what you want, woman.
I tell my 2 early 20’s sons the exact same thing. It seems that, for the most part, it’s true. I have seen exceptions, though.
The only time in recent memory that white knighting actually worked.
He needs to be thinking: Make Me A Sammich!
In my opinion there is nothing to be sorry about. You like what you like.
Just remember though that it works both ways :) If you expect them to take care of themselves to remain attractive to you... you need to be doing the same.
Then everyone wins :)
