reception when she heard about the accident and rushed out

to help at the crash scene. She was photographed by her

mother Marcy Martin as the emergency vehicles arrived in

the background still wearing her wedding dress and shoes.

Speaking to Channel 5, Sarah said: "Anyone in the EMS field

would’ve done the same thing. I don’t know if what I did was

special but I was in a wedding dress."

Talking about the picture, she said: "I know the look that I’m

giving my mom was the ‘Really mom? Right now you’re

taking a picture?’ I’m sure we were a sight on the side of the

road for people driving by."

Ray and her new husband Paul then carried celebrating their

special day as no one was hurt in the minor crash.

"I just wanted to say thank you to everybody on here

for all your kind comments. My husband and I were

both there, even though I was the only one pictured. I

really don’t think we did anything out of the ordinary. I

would like to believe just about anybody in the

medical field would have done the same, especially

for family… dressed up or not. I’m just very thankful

everyone was OK. We are proud of our job and proud

to be part of Montgomery County EMS."

And people have taken to social media to express their

admiration for the beautiful bride. "Now that is

dedication."said Nicole Rabotski "First , congratulations on
