Couple Behind Movie, The Vow, Featured on Oprah
Krickitt Carpenter has been married to her husband, Kim, for two decades, but she has absolutely no recollection of their 1993 wedding. That's because less than 10 weeks after saying "I do," the newlyweds were in a near-fatal car accident that left Krickitt in a coma, fighting for her life.
Twenty-one days later, Krickitt awoke with severe amnesia. She didn't recognize anything around her, not even her husband.
"I lost about a two-year period," Krickitt told Oprah back in 1996. "I was in diapers, and they hand-fed me, and they had to teach me how to walk and talk again."
As Krickitt recovered, Kim stayed by her side. Twenty years, two children and one hit Hollywood movie later, the Carpenters are still together. But have any of Krickitt's lost memories returned? She and Kim offer a glimpse into their rebuilt lives in the above video, including their time on the set of The Vow with the film's two big stars.
