A Wedding Surprise

November 8, 2022 5:00 am Published by

A wheelchair-bound mom surprised her son with a tear-jerking dance on his wedding day – by standing for the first time in 4 years. 

58-year-old Dede Brown’s son Tayler had said he wanted to dance with his mom, but she told him to ask a different family member, due to her battle with a degenerative nerve disease that left her unable to walk more than a few steps. 

But on Instagram, she spotted The Zeen, a mobility device fitted with 3 levels, sitting, barstool mode, and standing, with a bicycle seat design to let the user walk and move. It arrived 2 weeks before the wedding, during which time she practiced using it in secret. 

Dede and husband Mark switched from her wheelchair to the Zeen halfway through the ceremony. She switched to standing mode on the dancefloor, and didn’t leave a single dry eye at the ceremony. Mark said: 

“Tayler couldn’t believe that she was standing, he just started crying.”
