Also present at today’s wedding…will be the bridesmaid who pushed Rachelle into a pool at a bridesmaids' party last year (May 2010) in Virginia Beach, Va., causing her to be a quadriplegic. Rachelle has never identified the friend that pushed her into the pool, saying that her friend has suffered even more than she has through the accident. Rachelle and Chris will honeymoon in Fiji, then Friedman will head to California for more therapy in September.
